Introduction

Once you've download OrientDB follow the Installation instructions.

Version numbers

Starting from release 1.0.0 OrientDB uses the Semantic Versioning approach.

Consider a version format of X.Y.Z (Major.Minor.Patch). Bug fixes not affecting the API increment the patch version, backwards compatible API additions/changes increment the minor version, and backwards incompatible API changes increment the major version.

This system is called "Semantic Versioning." Under this scheme, version numbers and the way they change convey meaning about the underlying code and what has been modified from one version to the next.
