This guide walks through installing a locally accessible FoundationDB server that is suitable for development on macOS.
.. note:: |platform-not-supported-for-production|
First steps
===========
* Validate that your system has
* x86-64 processor architecture
* 4 GB RAM (per process)
* macOS 10.7 or newer
* Download the FoundationDB packages for your system from :doc:`downloads`.
* Before upgrading from a previous version of FoundationDB, see :ref:`upgrading-foundationdb`.
Installing or upgrading FoundationDB
====================================
To begin installation, double-click on |package-mac|. Follow the instructions and select the components that you want to install.
Client-only installation
------------------------
By default, the FoundationDB installer installs the binaries required to run both clients and a local development server. If you don't intend to run the FoundationDB server on your machine, you can deselect the "FoundationDB Server" option. Copy the :ref:`cluster file <foundationdb-cluster-file>` from a server or client in the cluster you want to connect to and place it in ``/usr/local/etc/foundationdb/``.
Other considerations

Testing your FoundationDB installation
======================================
To verify that the local FoundationDB database is operational, open the command line interface (``fdbcli``) and use the status command. ::
host:~ user$ fdbcli
Using cluster file `/usr/local/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster'.
The database is available.
Welcome to the fdbcli. For help, type `help'.
fdb> status
Configuration:
Redundancy mode - single
Storage engine - memory
Coordinators - 1
Cluster:
FoundationDB processes - 1
Machines - 1
Memory availability - 4.1 GB per process on machine with least available
Fault Tolerance - 0 machines
Server time - Thu Mar 15 14:41:34 2018
Data:
Replication health - Healthy
Moving data - 0.000 GB
Sum of key-value sizes - 8 MB
Disk space used - 103 MB
Operating space:
Storage server - 1.0 GB free on most full server
Transaction log - 1.0 GB free on most full server
Workload:
Read rate - 2 Hz
Write rate - 0 Hz
Transactions started - 2 Hz
Transactions committed - 0 Hz
Conflict rate - 0 Hz
Backup and DR:
Running backups - 0
Running DRs - 0
Client time: Thu Mar 15 14:41:34 2018
If these steps were successful you have installed and validated FoundationDB. You can now start using the database!
.. note:: If the database is not operational the ``status`` command will provide diagnostic information to help you resolve the issue.
Managing the FoundationDB service
==================================
* See :ref:`administration-running-foundationdb`.
* See :ref:`administration-removing`.
Next steps
==========
* Install the APIs for :doc:`Ruby <api-ruby>`, `Java <javadoc/index.html>`_, or `Go <https://godoc.org/github.com/apple/foundationdb/bindings/go/src/fdb>`_ if you intend to use those languages. :doc:`Python <api-python>` and :doc:`C <api-c>` APIs were installed using the FoundationDB installer above.
* See :doc:`tutorials` for samples of developing applications with FoundationDB.
* See :doc:`developer-guide` for information of interest to developers, including common design patterns and performance considerations.
* See :doc:`administration` for detailed administration information.
* See :doc:`known-limitations` of the system.
