Installation InstructionsΒΆ

After downloading the latest stable version of Crate Data from https://crate.io/download/ the package needs to be unpacked:

sh$ tar zxf crate-*.tar.gz

Now Cate can be started in the foreground like this:

sh$ ./bin/crate

In order to start in the background add the -d option. If started in the foreground you can use Control-C to stop the process again.

Note

Crate Data needs a working Java 7 virtual machine. We recommend using Oracle’s Java on OSX and OpenJDK on Linux Systems.
