Install ArangoDB on-premises

How to download and install ArangoDB for using it locally or self-hosting it on your own hardware

Installation

Head to arangodb.ai/downloads/  and download the tar.gz archives of the ArangoDB server and the client tools for Linux, or use the official container images (arangodb/core and arangodb/client-tools).

For more in-depth information on how to install ArangoDB, as well as available startup parameters, installation in a cluster and so on, see Installation and Deploy.

Securing the Installation

The default installation contains one database _system and a user named root.

To set a password for the root user, see Securing your installation. If you use the container images, see Choosing an authentication method.

The password that you set for the root user this way has no effect in case of deployments done with the ArangoDB Starter. See Securing Starter Deployments instead.
