# BigchainDB
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/bigchaindb/bigchaindb.svg?branch=develop)](https://travis-ci.org/bigchaindb/bigchaindb)
## Documentation
Documentation is available at https://bigchaindb.readthedocs.org/
## Getting started
#### Install RethinkDB on Ubuntu
```sh
# install rethinkdb https://rethinkdb.com/docs/install/ubuntu/
$ source /etc/lsb-release && echo "deb http://download.rethinkdb.com/apt $DISTRIB_CODENAME main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rethinkdb.list
$ wget -qO- http://download.rethinkdb.com/apt/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install rethinkdb
# start rethinkdb
$ rethinkdb
```
#### Install BigchainDB
```sh
$ pip install bigchaindb
```
#### 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
```
