For the impatient:

RUNNING A SINGLE NODE DEMO SERVER

You need a config file, like this one

$> cat single.ini [global] cluster = arakoon_0 cluster_id = ricky

[arakoon_0] ip = 127.0.0.1 client_port = 4000 messaging_port = 4010 home = /tmp log_level = info

Start the node

$> ./arakoon.native -config single.ini --node arakoon_0

This starts a single node cluster for you to play with.

You can get/set values from the command line using : $> ./arakoon.native -config examples/single.ini --set hello world $> ./arakoon.native -config examples/single.ini --get hello "world"

to get an overview of what else the command line provides. ./arakoon.native --help

Of course you want to use Arakoon from within a program. For this reason, we provide OCaml, C, Python, and Php clients.

have fun,

The arakoon team
