Get Started

This Get Started section covers the various options for users who are installing the TigerGraph database themselves. The Community Edition can be installed on a single machine either directly on a Linux or as a Docker image. The full-fledged TigerGraph Database offers additional options; it can also be installed on a cluster of servers directly or through Kubernetes.

Please see Comparing TigerGraph Editions for a chart of the features available for your edition.
