ArangoDB
--------

In order to use a tar installation simply add the `arangodb3e-linux-3.12.11-nightly.20260828_x86_64/bin`
directory to your path.

For bash, use

    unix> export PATH="/full/path/to/unpacked/arangodb3e-linux-3.12.11-nightly.20260828_x86_64/bin:$PATH"

If you have additionally installed arangodb as Debian or RPM package,
you need to ensure that `arangodb3e-linux-3.12.11-nightly.20260828_x86_64` comes first in the PATH
variable. Otherwise the binaries from the installed `arangodb` package 
will be used and not the ones from the tar file.


Single Server
=============

Use

    arangodb --starter.mode single --starter.data-dir /tmp/mydata

where `/tmp/mydata` should point to the directory containing the
data. The database itself will be in `/tmp/mydata/single8529/data`.
The apps will be stored in `/tmp/mydata/single8529/apps`.

Cluster
=======

A cluster can be started using

    arangodb --starter.mode cluster --starter.data-dir /tmp/mydata

Please then read the instructions printed on screen for starting the
additional servers.
