Requirements

First, you must clone this repo to some directory of your choosing. We will call this <K9DB_DIR>. You should also initialize its git submodules.

git submodule init
git submodule update

After cloning, you have multiple options for building and running K9DB:

1. By using our provided docker container (recommended for trying out K9db).
2. By installing the requirements and building K9db yourself.
3. By using our provided scripts if you are running on google cloud (recommend if you are trying to reproduce the results from our paper). Consult the experiments section for more details on this.

Currently, you cannot build K9db directly on MacOS. You must instead use the docker container. If your machine has M1/M2 processors, K9db may not build even using the container.
