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
