ArangoDB 1.4.0 on Raspberry Pi: Database Power for Small Devices

This is a follow to the post about ArangoDB 1.3 running on Raspberry PI. With the release of ArangoDB 1.4.0 I now tried to compile it again. As all patches required for 1.3 are part of 1.4.0 it is now much easier.

  pi> sudo apt-get install libreadline6 libreadline6-dev libssl-dev
  pi> git clone -b v1.4.0 https://github.com/triAGENS/ArangoDB
  pi> cd ArangoDB
  pi> ./configure --enable-all-in-one-icu --enable-all-in-one-v8 --enable-all-in-one-libev --disable-mruby
  pi> make

After a few hours, everything (including V8 & ICU) is compiled and you can start ArangoDB on a raspberry

  pi> mkdir /tmp/testbase
  pi> ./bin/arangod -c etc/relative/arangod.conf /tmp/testbase

and the shell in another window

  pi> ./bin/arangosh -c etc/relative/arangosh.conf

or point your browser to http://pi:8529/

However, if you do not want to wait for hours, I’ve tried to build a debian package, which can be downloaded from here:

    pi> wget http://www.arangodb.com/repositories/raspbian/arangodb-1.4.0-raspbian.deb
    pi> sudo dpkg -i arangodb-1.4.0-raspbian.deb

This has not been tested in detail. So any feedback or improvements are welcome.

    Hi In my armhf debian I already installed v8 (libv8-dev) and now I am trying to configure ArangoDB (2.2.3) with following command:

    ./configure –with-v8=/usr –with-v8-lib=/usr/lib –disable-all-in-one-v8 –enable-all-in-one-libev –enable-all-in-one-icu

    But it doesnt work, keeps throwing:

    checking for v8::V8::GetVersion() in -lv8_base… no
    configure: error: Please install the V8 library from Google

    Even when the header files and libraries are there. What am I missing? Thanks!

      could you open a ticket either at stackoverflow (tag with ArangoDB) or in the ArangoDB google group? Thanx!
