## bigchaindb start
Start BigchainDB. It always begins by trying a `bigchaindb init` first. See the note in the documentation for `bigchaindb init`.
Start BigchainDB assuming that the database has already been initialized using `bigchaindb init`. If that is not the case then passing the flag `--init` will initialize the database and start BigchainDB.
You can also use the `--dev-start-rethinkdb` command line option to automatically start rethinkdb with bigchaindb if rethinkdb is not already running,
e.g. `bigchaindb --dev-start-rethinkdb start`. Note that this will also shutdown rethinkdb when the bigchaindb process stops.
The option `--dev-allow-temp-keypair` will generate a keypair on the fly if no keypair is found, this is useful when you want to run a temporary instance of BigchainDB in a Docker container, for example.
