Start

Run a single-replica cluster on Linux (or other platforms):

$ curl -Lo tigerbeetle.zip https://linux.tigerbeetle.com && unzip tigerbeetle.zip
$ ./tigerbeetle version
$ ./tigerbeetle format --cluster=0 --replica=0 --replica-count=1 --development 0_0.tigerbeetle
$ ./tigerbeetle start --addresses=3000 --development 0_0.tigerbeetle

Connect to the cluster and make a transfer:

$ ./tigerbeetle repl --cluster=0 --addresses=3000
> create_accounts id=1 code=10 ledger=700,
                  id=2 code=10 ledger=700;
> create_transfers id=1 debit_account_id=1 credit_account_id=2 amount=10 ledger=700 code=10;
> lookup_accounts id=1, id=2;
