### Running BigchainDB
Currently BigchainDB only supports Python 3.4+
Start the main process. If it's the first time `bigchaindb` will generate a default
configuration file for you.
```sh
$ bigchaindb start
```
Generate some tests transactions:
```sh
$ bigchaindb-benchmark load # add '-m' if you want to use all your cores
```
To know more about the bigchain command run
```sh
$ bigchaindb -h
```
#### Importing `BigchainDB` from the interpreter (python/ipython)
Make sure your `rethinkdb` process is running.
```python
>>> from bigchaindb import Bigchain
>>> b = Bigchain()
>>> b.me
'2B8C8PJxhycFzn4wncRhBNmMWwE5Frr9nLBUa1dGGxj5W'
```
#### Configuration
BigchainDB creates a default configuration file on `$HOME/.bigchaindb` on the
first run.
```sh
$ bigchaindb show-config
```
#### Testing
```
$ py.test -v
```
