Running without root

[JaheimLee]

I saw many sudo commands in your doc. Can I use it without root permission?

It could be done so, and i just tested it's working fine:

wget https://oss-cdn.nebula-graph.io/package/3.2.0/nebula-graph-3.2.0.ubuntu1804.amd64.deb
mkdir nebula_non_root
sudo dpkg -i --instdir=$PWD/nebula_non_root/ nebula-graph-3.2.0.ubuntu1804.amd64.deb

cd nebula_non_root/
# although here you have to change its owner, which was created as root:root by default :)
# I am running on a azure VM, it's user and group are both azureuser, you should change to yours accordingly.
sudo chown azureuser:azureuser -R .

cp usr/local/nebula/etc/nebula-metad.conf.default usr/local/nebula/etc/nebula-metad.conf
cp usr/local/nebula/etc/nebula-graphd.conf.default usr/local/nebula/etc/nebula-graphd.conf
cp usr/local/nebula/etc/nebula-storaged.conf.default usr/local/nebula/etc/nebula-storaged.conf

usr/local/nebula/scripts/nebula.service start metad
usr/local/nebula/scripts/nebula.service start graphd
usr/local/nebula/scripts/nebula.service start storaged

Verify it with console:

wget https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula-console/releases/download/v3.2.0/nebula-console-linux-amd64-v3.2.0

chmod +x nebula-console-linux-amd64-v3.2.0

./nebula-console-linux-amd64-v3.2.0 -addr localhost -port 9669 -user root -p nebula

ADD HOSTS for storaged:

show hosts
add hosts 127.0.0.1:9779
show hosts

It looks like:

./nebula-console-linux-amd64-v3.2.0 -addr localhost -port 9669 -user root -p nebula

Then you could load the basketballplayer data set in console:

:play basketballplayer

It takes you about 1 min to finish:

$ ./nebula-console-linux-amd64-v3.2.0 -addr localhost -port 9669 -user root -p nebula

Welcome to Nebula Graph!

(root@nebula) [(none)]> :play basketballplayer
Start loading dataset basketballplayer...

Thanks a lot! I'll have a try using your tar.gz file.
