OrientDB - Installation

OrientDB installation file is available in two editions −
Community Edition − OrientDB community edition is released by Apache under 0.2 license as an open source
Community Edition − OrientDB community edition is released by Apache under 0.2 license as an open source
Enterprise Edition − OrientDB enterprise edition is released as a proprietary software, which is built on community edition. It serves as an extension of the community edition.
Enterprise Edition − OrientDB enterprise edition is released as a proprietary software, which is built on community edition. It serves as an extension of the community edition.
This chapter explains the installation procedure of OrientDB community edition because it is open source.
Both community and Enterprise editions can run on any Operating system that implements the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). OrientDB requires Java with 1.7 or later version.
Use the following steps to download and install OrientDB into your system.
OrientDB comes with built-in setup file to install the database on your system. It provides different pre-compiled binary packages (tarred or zipped packages) for different operating systems. You can download OrientDB files from  Download OrientDB link.
The following screenshot shows the download page of OrientDB. You can download the zipped or tarred file by clicking the suitable operating system icon.
On downloading, you will get the binary package in your Downloads folder.
Following is the procedure to extract and install OrientDB for different operating systems.
After download you will get orientdb-community-2.1.9.tar.gz file in your Downloads folder. You can use the following command to extract the tarred file.
$ tar –zxvf orientdb-community-2.1.9.tar.gz 
You can use the following command to move all the OrientDB library files from orientdbcommunity-2.1.9 to /opt/orientdb/ directory. Here we are using super user command (sudo) therefore you have to provide super user password to execute the following command.
$ sudo mv orientdb-community-2.1.9 /opt/orientdb
You can use the following commands to register the orientdb command and the Orient server.
$ export ORIENTDB_HoME = /opt/orientdb 
$ export PATH = $PATH:$ORIENTDB_HOME/bin
After download you will get orientdb-community-2.1.9.zip file in your Downloads folder. Extract the zip file using the zip extractor.
After download you will get orientdb-community-2.1.9.zip file in your Downloads folder. Extract the zip file using the zip extractor.
Move the extracted folder into the C:\ directory.
Move the extracted folder into the C:\ directory.
Create two environmental variables ORIENTDB_HOME and PATH variables with following given values.
Create two environmental variables ORIENTDB_HOME and PATH variables with following given values.
ORIENT_HOME = C:\orientdb-community-2.1.9 
PATH = C:\orientdb-community-2.1.9\bin
By following the above steps you can use the Desktop version of OrientDB. You can start OrientDB database server as a service by using the following steps. The procedure is different, depending on your operating system.
OrientDB provides a script file named orientdb.sh to run the database as a daemon. You can find it in the bin/directory of your OrientDB installation directory that is $ORIENTDB_HOME/bin/orientdb.sh.
Before running the script file, you have to edit orientdb.sh file for defining two variables. One is ORIENTDB_DIR which defines the path to the installation directory (/opt/orientdb) and the second is ORIENTDB_USER which defines the username you want run OrientDB for as follows.
ORIENTDB_DIR = "/opt/orientdb" 
ORIENTDB_USER = "<username you want to run OrientDB>" 
Use the following command to copy orientdb.sh file into /etc/init.d/ directory for initializing and running the script. Here we are using super user command (sudo) therefore you have to provide super user password to execute the following command.
$ sudo cp $ORIENTDB_HOME/bin/orientdb.sh /etc/init.d/orientdb
Use the following command to copy the console.sh file from OrientDB installation directory that is $ORIENTDB_HOME/bin to the system bin directory that is /usr/bin for accessing the Orient DB’s console.
$ sudo cp $ ORIENTDB_HOME/bin/console.sh /usr/bin/orientdb
Use the following command to start the ORIENTDB database server as service. Here you have to provide the respective user’s password which you mention in the orientdb.sh file to start the server.
$ service orientdb start
Use the following command to know on which PID the OrientDB server daemon is running.
$ service orientdb status
Use the following command to stop the OrientDB server daemon. Here you have to provide the respective user’s password, which you mention in the orientdb.sh file to stop the server.
$ service orientdb stop
OrientDB is a server application therefore it has to perform several tasks before starting shutting down the Java virtual machine process. If you want to shutdown OrientDB server manually then you have to execute shutdown.bat file. But the server instances do not stop correctly, when the system shuts down suddenly without executing the above script. The programs which are controlled by the operating system with a set of specified signals are called services in Windows.
We have to use Apache Common Daemon which allow Windows users to wrap Java applications as Windows service. Following is the procedure to download and register Apache common daemon.
Click the following link for  Apache Common Daemons for windows.
Click the following link for  Apache Common Daemons for windows.
Click on common-daemon-1.0.15-bin-windows to download.
Click on common-daemon-1.0.15-bin-windows to download.
Unzip the common-daemon-1.0.15-bin-windows directory. After extracting you will find prunsrv.exe and prunmgr.exe files inside the directory. In those −

prunsrv.exe file is a service application for running applications as services.
prunmgr.exe file is an application used for monitoring and configuring windows services.


Unzip the common-daemon-1.0.15-bin-windows directory. After extracting you will find prunsrv.exe and prunmgr.exe files inside the directory. In those −
prunsrv.exe file is a service application for running applications as services.
prunsrv.exe file is a service application for running applications as services.
prunmgr.exe file is an application used for monitoring and configuring windows services.
prunmgr.exe file is an application used for monitoring and configuring windows services.
Go to OrientDB installation folder → create a new directory and name it service.
Go to OrientDB installation folder → create a new directory and name it service.
Copy the prunsrv.exe and prunmgr .exe paste it into to the service directory.
Copy the prunsrv.exe and prunmgr .exe paste it into to the service directory.
In order to configure OrientDB as Windows service, you have to execute a short script that uses the prusrv.exe as a Windows service.
In order to configure OrientDB as Windows service, you have to execute a short script that uses the prusrv.exe as a Windows service.
Before defining the Windows Services, you have to rename prunsrv and prunmgr according to the name of the service. For e.g. OrientDBGraph and OrientDBGraphw respectively. Here OrientDBGraph is the name of the service.

Copy the following script into the file named installService.bat and place it into %ORIENTDB_HOME%\service\ directory.
Copy the following script into the file named installService.bat and place it into %ORIENTDB_HOME%\service\ directory.
