Installation
Installation needs you have downloaded OrientDB before. If you haven't an OrientDB distribution goto Download.
OrientDB runs on every operating system that has an implementation of Java Virtual Machine (JVM). These include:
- All Linux distributions, included for ARM (Raspberry Pi, etc)
- Mac OS X
- Microsoft Windows from 95/NT onward
- Sun Solaris
- HP-UX
- IBM AIX
OrientDB requires Java SE 6 to be installed in order to deploy the Server component. Client applications can be written using Java SE 5.
You can check which version of Java SE you have installed by typing "java -version" in a command shell (or a command prompt for Windows users):
> java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)Orient is distributed in a ZIP file. You can download the latest version at the Download Page. To install, just extract the contents of ZIP archive into a folder on your PC.
The Orient distribution contains the following folders:
| Folder | Description |
|---|---|
| benchmarks | Set of performance tests |
| bin | Scripts to run Orient server and console |
| config | Configuration files |
| databases | Default place to store databases |
| lib | Compiled Java archives with OrientDB |
| log | Server log files |
| www | OrientDB-Studio application |
To start OrientDB server, go to the bin folder and run script server.sh for Unix-like operating system, or server.bat for Windows. You may have to set the execute permission on the script file before running it.
Once Orient is installed on your system, you can open the console by double-clicking on console script or by executing it from a command shell. The output should be like this:
ORIENT database v.0.9.3 www.orientechnologies.com
