This is the recommended method, in which you will get a binary released package which is out-of-the-box.</li><li>Using Docker：The path to the dockerfile is <a href="https://github.com/apache/iotdb/blob/master/docker/src/main" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">github<span><svg class="external-link-icon" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 100 100" width="15" height="15"><path fill="currentColor" d="M18.8,85.1h56l0,0c2.2,0,4-1.8,4-4v-32h-8v28h-48v-48h28v-8h-32l0,0c-2.2,0-4,1.8-4,4v56C14.8,83.3,16.6,85.1,18.8,85.1z"></path><polygon fill="currentColor" points="45.7,48.7 51.3,54.3 77.2,28.5 77.2,37.2 85.2,37.2 85.2,14.9 62.8,14.9 62.8,22.9 71.5,22.9"></polygon></svg><span class="external-link-icon-sr-only">open in new window</span></span></a></li></ul><h2 id="download" tabindex="-1"><a class="header-anchor" href="#download" aria-hidden="true">#</a> Download</h2><p>You can download the binary file from:<br><a href="https://iotdb.apache.org/Download/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Download Page<span><svg class="external-link-icon" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 100 100" width="15" height="15"><path fill="currentColor" d="M18.8,85.1h56l0,0c2.2,0,4-1.8,4-4v-32h-8v28h-48v-48h28v-8h-32l0,0c-2.2,0-4,1.8-4,4v56C14.8,83.3,16.6,85.1,18.8,85.1z"></path><polygon fill="currentColor" points="45.7,48.7 51.3,54.3 77.2,28.5 77.2,37.2 85.2,37.2 85.2,14.9 62.8,14.9 62.8,22.9 71.5,22.9"></polygon></svg><span class="external-link-icon-sr-only">open in new window</span></span></a></p><h2 id="configurations" tabindex="-1"><a class="header-anchor" href="#configurations" aria-hidden="true">#</a> Configurations</h2><p>Configuration files are under &quot;conf&quot; folder</p><ul><li>environment config module (<code>datanode-env.bat</code>, <code>datanode-env.sh</code>),</li><li>system config module (<code>iotdb-datanode.properties</code>)</li><li>log config module (<code>logback.xml</code>).</li></ul><p>For more, see <a href="/UserGuide/Master/Reference/DataNode-Config-Manual.html" class="">Config</a> in detail.</p><h2 id="start" tabindex="-1"><a class="header-anchor" href="#start" aria-hidden="true">#</a> Start</h2><p>You can go through the following step to test the installation, if there is no error after execution, the installation is completed.</p><h3 id="start-iotdb" tabindex="-1"><a class="header-anchor" href="#start-iotdb" aria-hidden="true">#</a> Start IoTDB</h3><p>IoTDB is a database based on distributed system.

And replication factors set to 1, which is by now the default setting.<br> Besides, it&#39;s recommended to use SimpleConsensus in this mode, since it brings additional efficiency.</p><h3 id="use-cli" tabindex="-1"><a class="header-anchor" href="#use-cli" aria-hidden="true">#</a> Use Cli</h3><p>IoTDB offers different ways to interact with server, here we introduce basic steps of using Cli tool to insert and query data.</p><p>After installing IoTDB, there is a default user &#39;root&#39;, its default password is also &#39;root&#39;. Users can use this<br> default user to login Cli to use IoTDB. The startup script of Cli is the start-cli script in the folder sbin. When executing the script, user should assign<br> IP, PORT, USER_NAME and PASSWORD. The default parameters are &quot;-h 127.0.0.1 -p 6667 -u root -pw -root&quot;.</p><p>Here is the command for starting the Cli:</p><div class="language-text line-numbers-mode" data-ext="text"><pre class="language-text"><code># Unix/OS X

Before defining a timeseries, we should define a database using create DATABASE, and here is an example:</p><div class="language-text line-numbers-mode" data-ext="text"><pre class="language-text"><code>IoTDB&gt; create database root.ln
</code></pre><div class="line-numbers" aria-hidden="true"><div class="line-number"></div></div></div><p>We can also use SHOW DATABASES to check created databases:</p><div class="language-text line-numbers-mode" data-ext="text"><pre class="language-text"><code>IoTDB&gt; SHOW DATABASES
+-----------------------------------+
|                           Database|
+-----------------------------------+
|                            root.ln|
+-----------------------------------+
Database number = 1
</code></pre><div class="line-numbers" aria-hidden="true"><div class="line-number"></div><div class="line-number"></div><div class="line-number"></div><div class="line-number"></div><div class="line-number"></div><div class="line-number"></div><div class="line-number"></div></div></div><p>After the database is set, we can use CREATE TIMESERIES to create new timeseries. When we create a timeseries, we should define its data type and the encoding scheme. We create two timeseries as follow:</p><div class="language-text line-numbers-mode" data-ext="text"><pre class="language-text"><code>IoTDB&gt; CREATE TIMESERIES root.ln.wf01.wt01.status WITH DATATYPE=BOOLEAN, ENCODING=PLAIN
IoTDB&gt; CREATE TIMESERIES root.ln.wf01.wt01.temperature WITH DATATYPE=FLOAT, ENCODING=RLE
</code></pre><div class="line-numbers" aria-hidden="true"><div class="line-number"></div><div class="line-number"></div></div></div><p>To query the specific timeseries, use SHOW TIMESERIES &lt;Path&gt;. &lt;Path&gt; represents the path of the timeseries. Its default value is null, which means querying all the timeseries in the system(the same as using &quot;SHOW TIMESERIES root&quot;). Here are the examples:</p><ol><li>Query all timeseries in the system:</li></ol><div class="language-text line-numbers-mode" data-ext="text"><pre class="language-text"><code>IoTDB&gt; SHOW TIMESERIES
+-------------------------------+---------------+--------+--------+
|                     Timeseries|       Database|DataType|Encoding|
+-------------------------------+---------------+--------+--------+
|       root.ln.wf01.wt01.status|        root.ln| BOOLEAN|   PLAIN|
|  root.ln.wf01.wt01.temperature|        root.ln|   FLOAT|     RLE|
+-------------------------------+---------------+--------+--------+
Total timeseries number = 2
