How to Install and Use Endatabas: Your SQL Document Database

Endatabas is an exciting SQL document database that boasts full history tracking. Although it’s currently in beta and is considered experimental, it offers a plethora of features for developers looking to manage their databases efficiently. Here, you’ll find a user-friendly guide to getting started with Endatabas.

Installation Steps

To install Endatabas, follow these steps based on your operating system:

1. Building From Source

• First, you need to install SBCL.
• For Ubuntu, use the command:

sudo apt install sbcl

• For MacOS, use:

brew install sbcl

• Note: SBCL 2.4.4 is the recommended version to avoid potential issues.
• Next, initialize submodules with:

git submodule update --init --recursive

• Install Rust:

curl --proto =https --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

• Run tests and build the binary:

make

2. Running SQL Logic Tests

For proper validation, install SQLite logic tests:

• On Ubuntu, install build essentials:

sudo apt install build-essential

• Then, build and run sanity checks:

make slt-test

3. Docker Installation

Docker simplifies deployment. Here’s how to use it:

• Install Podman or Docker:

sudo apt install podman podman-docker

• Build the Docker image:

make docker

• Run the image:

make run-docker

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Think of the commands you execute in the installation process as a chef preparing a meal in a kitchen:

• The first step, installing SBCL or Rust, is like getting the necessary cooking tools ready. You can’t start cooking if your utensils are missing!
• Initialising submodules is akin to assembling your ingredients; they need to be in place and organized before you can cook.
• Building from source and running tests is like cooking your dish — you’re ensuring everything is in its right place, mixing correctly to create your final dish without burning it.
• Using Docker is like serving your meal on a beautifully laid table; it makes the process look seamless and professional!

Troubleshooting Tips

If you run into issues during installation, consider the following:

• Ensure that you have the latest version of dependencies installed.
• Check your internet connection, as downloading necessary files requires stable access.
• If build processes take too long or hang, try restarting the terminal or your machine.
• Consult the [documentation](https://docs.endatabas.com) for detailed troubleshooting steps.
