Database folder in design mode

Question

The arangodb documentation suggests using a different database folder at the development stage (/ tmp / fancy_db). I try to use this, but I get errors saying that the database does not exist ... How to create databases in this temporary folder?

thanks

Answer 1

arangod will not create any folder for you, you must provide it with an existing folder on your system.

/tmp/fancy_db

- This is just an offer to use any folder anywhere on your computer. However, to create a folder in / tmp on a unix system, open a terminal and enter:

bash> mkdir /tmp/fancy_db

On Windows (as far as I know) \ tmp is not available, you can use

C:\tmp\fancy_db

instead (create it using Explorer)
