Single Instance Deployment

Unlike other setups, like the Active Failover, Cluster, or Multiple Datacenters, which require some specific procedure to be started once the ArangoDB package has been installed, deploying a single-instance is straightforward.

Depending on your operating system, after the installation the ArangoDB Server might be already up and running. Start, stop and restart operations can be handled directly using your System and Service Manager.

The following are two additional ways that can be used to start the stand-alone instance:

  1. Using the ArangoDB Starter, or
  2. manually.
