NuoDB Quickstart

Getting started

• If this is your first database and you want to try out NuoDB you have a few options (in order of complexity):
  • Install NuoDB natively on a physical machine
  • Create a NuoDB cluster in a set of virtual machines using Vagrant
  • Create a multiple region NuoDB cluster in Amazon
• Once you have a running database you can take advantage of the tools provided in this package

What are the tools provided?

• nuodb_backup.py Take backups of a running NuoDB database
• nuodb_aws_quickstart.py Allows you to create a fully functional multi-node and multi-region sandbox database in AWS
• nuodb_load.py Simple load generator. For testing only.
• nuodb_tarball_installer.py If you want to install multiple parallel instances of NuoDB on a single host (for example in build environments)

Requirements

• Python 2.7
• The package will install the following Python dependencies:
  • Boto
  • Paramiko
  • Requests
  • NuoDB Python Driver

sudo pip install nuodbTools
