BigchainDB is a scalable blockchain database. The whitepaper explains what that means.
We're hiring! Learn more.
Assuming you're using Ubuntu of some stripe:
./local_setup/bootstrap.shBy the end, you should see something like:
INFO:bigchaindb.processes:

Now open up a new terminal, cd to the base directory from above, if necessary.
Use source venv/bin/activate to re-activate your Python virtualenv.
Use python to start an interactive shell.
Start firing away on these examples.
Your RethinkDB instance will be running as a daemon (in the background). To kill this process, run ps axjf or top \ htop (hit Ctrl+C to exit) and note the PID of the rethinkdb instances.
For example, via ps axjf, a tree view of running processes:
PPID PID PGID SID TTY TPGID STAT UID TIME COMMAND
0 1 1 1 ? 1 Ss+ 0 0:00 /mnt/shared/sbin/micro-inetd 22 /mnt/shared/sbin/dropbear -i -s -m -R

3092 3175 3092 3091 ? -1 S 1000 0:00 \_ rethinkdb --bind all --daemonIn this instance, running the command kill 3091 would kill the top of the process tree rethinkdb --bind all --daemon.
