ArangoDB is a powerful, open-source NoSQL database that combines the features of document, key-value, and graph databases. It is designed for performance and flexibility, making it suitable for various use cases. In this guide, we will walk through the steps to install ArangoDB on Debian 11.

Step 1: Update Your System

Before starting the installation, it is essential to update your system packages:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

ArangoDB requires certain dependencies. Install them by running the following command:

sudo apt install software-properties-common

Step 3: Add the ArangoDB Repository

Next, add the official ArangoDB repository to your system:

wget -qO - https://www.arangodb.com/repo/arangodb.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://www.arangodb.com/repo/debian/11/ main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/arangodb.list

Then update your package list:

When accessing the interface for the first time, you will be prompted to set a root password.

Step 7: Secure Your ArangoDB Installation

After installation, it's crucial to secure your ArangoDB server. You can configure authentication settings in the /etc/arangodb3/arangod.conf file:

Make sure the following lines are set to enforce authentication:

[server]
endpoint = tcp://0.0.0.0:8529
