Community Edition Quick Start

The easiest way to test YugabyteDB's basic features and APIs is to create a local cluster on a single host.

Attention

This page documents an earlier version. Go to the latest (v2.1) version.

Note

We do not recommend a local cluster setup on a single host for production deployments or performance benchmarking. For those, consider deploying a true multi-node on multi-host setup using the manual or orchestrated deployment steps.
