# Quickstart
|
|
|
|
This page has instructions to set up a single stand-alone BigchainDB node for learning or experimenting. Instructions for other cases are [elsewhere](introduction.html). We will assume you're using Ubuntu 14.04 or similar. If you're not using Linux, then you might try [running BigchainDB with Docker](appendices/run-with-docker.html).
|
|
|
|
A. [Install RethinkDB Server](https://rethinkdb.com/docs/install/ubuntu/)
|
|
|
|
B. Open a Terminal and run RethinkDB Server with the command:
|
|
```text
|
|
rethinkdb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
C. Ubuntu 14.04 already has Python 3.4, so you don't need to install it, but you do need to install a couple other things:
|
|
```text
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install g++ python3-dev libffi-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
D. Get the latest version of pip and setuptools:
|
|
```text
|
|
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
|
|
sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
E. Install the `bigchaindb` Python package from PyPI:
|
|
```text
|
|
sudo pip3 install bigchaindb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
F. Configure and run BigchainDB Server:
|
|
```text
|
|
bigchaindb -y configure
|
|
bigchaindb start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it!
|
|
|
|
Next Steps: You could build valid transactions and push them to your running BigchainDB Server using the [BigchaindB Python Driver](https://docs.bigchaindb.com/projects/py-driver/en/latest/index.html).
