Installing ArangoDB on macOS

You can use ArangoDB on macOS via Docker images, or use the client-tools from .tar.gz archives

You can run the ArangoDB client tools on macOS using tar.gz archives.

Starting from version 3.11.0, ArangoDB Server binaries for macOS are not provided anymore.

Installing the client tools using the archive

  1. Visit the official Download  page of the ArangoDB website and download the client tools tar.gz archive for macOS.

  2. You may verify the download by comparing the SHA256 hash listed on the website to the hash of the file. For example, you can you run openssl sha256 <filename> or shasum -a 256 <filename> in a terminal.

  3. Extract the archive by double-clicking the file.
