# 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 16.04 or similar. If you're not using Linux, then you might try [running BigchainDB with Docker](appendices/run-with-docker.html).
|
|
|
|
A. Install the database backend.
|
|
|
|
[Install RethinkDB Server](https://rethinkdb.com/docs/install/ubuntu/) or
|
|
[Install MongoDB Server 3.4+](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/)
|
|
|
|
B. Run the database backend. Open a Terminal and run the command:
|
|
|
|
with RethinkDB
|
|
```text
|
|
$ rethinkdb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
with MongoDB __3.4+__
|
|
```text
|
|
$ mongod --replSet=bigchain-rs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
C. Ubuntu 16.04 already has Python 3.5, so you don't need to install it, but you do need to install some 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 the BigchainDB Server: and run BigchainDB Server:
|
|
|
|
with RethinkDB
|
|
```text
|
|
$ bigchaindb -y configure rethinkdb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
with MongoDB
|
|
```text
|
|
$ bigchaindb -y configure mongodb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
G. Run the BigchainDB Server:
|
|
```text
|
|
$ 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).
