# Quickstart
|
|
|
|
This page has instructions to set up a single stand-alone BigchainDB node for learning or experimenting. If you want to set up a BigchainDB node for production, development, benchmarking, or something else, see the [BigchainDB Nodes](nodes/index.html) section.
|
|
|
|
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](nodes/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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
D. Get the latest version of pip, wheel and setuptools:
|
|
```text
|
|
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
|
|
sudo easy_install3 pip
|
|
pip3 install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
E. Install the `bigchaindb` Python package from PyPI:
|
|
```text
|
|
sudo pip install bigchaindb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
F. Configure and run BigchainDB:
|
|
```text
|
|
bigchaindb -y configure
|
|
bigchaindb start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it!
|
|
|
|
For now, you can get a good sense of how to work with BigchainDB by going through [the examples in the section on the Python Server API](nodes/python-server-api-examples.html).
