How To Install ArangoDB on Ubuntu
ArangoDB is an open-source multi-model NoSQL database developed by ArangoDB GmbH. The tool supports graph, document, and key-value data models, giving users the ability to combine all the data types in one query. This allows you to set up a master-slave configuration or to distribute large datasets over multiple servers. Ok, let’s do it.
