Setup

The easiest way to setup Polypheny-DB is to use Polypheny Control.

Requirements

To build and start Polypheny-DB using Polypheny Control you need to have Java JDK in Version 8 or higher installed on your system. Thanks to JGit, Polypheny Control contains a pure Java implementation of Git. Therefore, it is no longer required to have Git installed on the system.

Setup

Download the latest polypheny-control.jar from the release section. To start the Web-UI execute polypheny-control.jar by specifying the parameter control.

java -jar polypheny-control.jar control

The interface can now be accessed on port 8070. This port can be changed by specifying another port using the parameter -p:

java -jar polypheny-control.jar control -p 8070

We strongly recommend not to use port 8080, 8081 and 8082 because these are the default ports of services offered by Polypheny-DB.

Data Folder

Polypheny-DB stores files in the local file system. By default, this is done in a special folder called .polypheny in the home directory of the executing user. This location can be customized by setting a system environment variable called POLYPHENY_HOME pointing to the desired location before Polypheny-DB is started.

(Optional) Setup Docker

See this on how to setup Docker to use the built-in Docker-based data store deployment.
