Evaluation

Download once. Run one command.

Start a local node directly from the downloaded executable. Use the production guide when you need persistent services, trusted TLS, clustering, or encryption.

What the parameters mean

--root
Node-local runtime and persistent state. Use a unique path on each node.
--metadata
Durable metadata storage. Keep it separate from the object data paths.
--admin-user
Username for the first administrator created during a fresh bootstrap.
--admin-password
Initial administrator password. Restarting with a different value does not reset an existing administrator.
data path(s)
Object storage locations. Pass one path, several paths, or expandable notation such as disk{1...4}.

Replace paths and password, then open https://127.0.0.1:8443. Press Ctrl+C to stop.
