It exposes a new database access model, in which the developer can tell the database to continuously push updated query results to applications without polling for changes. RethinkDB allows developers to build scalable realtime apps in a fraction of the time with less effort. To learn more, check out [rethinkdb.com](https://rethinkdb.com). Not sure what types of projects RethinkDB can help you build? Here are a few examples: * Build a [realtime liveblog](https://rethinkdb.com/blog/rethinkdb-pubnub/) with RethinkDB and PubNub * Create a [collaborative photo sharing whiteboard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdPRp3UxL_s) * Build an [IRC bot in Go](https://rethinkdb.com/blog/go-irc-bot/) with RethinkDB changefeeds * Look at [cats on Instagram in realtime](https://rethinkdb.com/blog/cats-of-instagram/) * Watch [how Platzi uses RethinkDB](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb_UzRYDB40) to educate Quickstart ---------- For a thirty-second RethinkDB quickstart, check out [rethinkdb.com/docs/quickstart](https://www.rethinkdb.com/docs/quickstart). Or, get started right away with our ten-minute guide in these languages: * [**JavaScript**](https://rethinkdb.com/docs/guide/javascript/) * [**Python**](https://rethinkdb.com/docs/guide/python/) * [**Ruby**](https://rethinkdb.com/docs/guide/ruby/) * [**Java**](https://rethinkdb.com/docs/guide/java/) Besides our four official drivers, we also have many [third-party drivers](https://rethinkdb.com/docs/install-drivers/) supported by the RethinkDB community. Here are a few of them: * **C#/.NET:** [RethinkDb.Driver](https://github.com/bchavez/RethinkDb.Driver), [rethinkdb-net](https://github.com/mfenniak/rethinkdb-net) * **C++:** [librethinkdbxx](https://github.com/AtnNn/librethinkdbxx) * **Clojure:** [clj-rethinkdb](https://github.com/apa512/clj-rethinkdb) * **Elixir:** [rethinkdb-elixir](https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb-elixir) * **Go:** [GoRethink](https://github.com/dancannon/gorethink) * **Haskell:** [haskell-rethinkdb](https://github.com/atnnn/haskell-rethinkdb) * **PHP:** [php-rql](https://github.com/danielmewes/php-rql) * **Rust:** [reql](https://github.com/rust-rethinkdb/reql) * **Scala:** [rethink-scala](https://github.com/kclay/rethink-scala) Looking to explore what else RethinkDB offers or the specifics of ReQL? Check out [our RethinkDB docs](https://rethinkdb.com/docs/) and [ReQL API](https://rethinkdb.com/api/). Building -------- First install some dependencies. For example, on Ubuntu or Debian: sudo apt-get install build-essential protobuf-compiler \ # python \ # for older distros python3 python-is-python3 \ libprotobuf-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev \ libncurses5-dev libjemalloc-dev wget m4 g++ libssl-dev Generally, you will need * GCC or Clang * Protocol Buffers * jemalloc * Ncurses * Python 2 or Python 3 * libcurl * libcrypto (OpenSSL) * libssl-dev Then, to build: ./configure --allow-fetch # or run ./configure --allow-fetch CXX=clang++ make -j4 # or run make -j4 DEBUG=1 sudo make install # or run ./build/debug_clang/rethinkdb See WINDOWS.md and mk/README.md for build instructions for Windows and FreeBSD.
