ArangoDB can be started and run in a few seconds. You can also use a graphical interface to manage your ArangoDB.

2. Install ArangoDB here. The Windows version of ArangoDB is used as an example.
For ArangoDB: https://www.arangodb.org/repositories/Windows7/x86_64/ArangoDB-1.4.11-win64.exe

The installation of ArangoDB is the same as that of common software on Windows. After the installation is complete, start the ArangoDB Server.


Run Arango Shell. The following page is displayed:


To turn ArangoDB into a Windows Service, run the following command:

D:\database\ArangoDB\bin>arangod --install-serviceINFO: adding service 'ArangoDB - the multi-purpose database' (internal 'ArangoDB')INFO: added service with command line '"D:\database\ArangoDB\bin\arangod.exe" --start-service'

Note that ArangoDB consists of database servers and client tools. When the ArangoDB server is started, the ArangoDB server automatically places a lock file (read-only) to prevent accidental access to data files. After ArangoDB is started, the ArangoDB server will automatically delete the lock file. If the lock file is still valid, ArangoDB will terminate unexpectedly.

You can access ArangoDB in a browser at: http: // 127.0.0.1: 8529/
