Use it

Run your own RankeDB, point it at storage you already have, and start putting data in. Nothing here needs you to read the papers first.

Install

RankeDB ships as a single binary, built for macOS and Linux on both Intel and ARM. Take the one for your platform from the latest release, write a configuration naming the storage it should use, and run it. One process serves one archive, and that archive is described entirely by the configuration you hand it at launch.

Download RankeDB Binaries for darwin and linux, amd64 and arm64.

See it running

A live RankeDB is running at archive.rankegraph.org — open it, no install needed. The same explorer ships inside every RankeDB release too, ready to point at an instance of your own: it draws the graph and lets you walk it claim by claim.

Try the demo Ranke-Explorer, against a live archive.

Bring your data in

Data enters through adapters, small clients that talk to the server and map a source into claims. Today that means git: ranke-git imports a repository, whole history or single commit, and restores it byte-identical. Email, GPS traces, browser history and CI build logs are next.
