This article is part of the [[Getting Started]] Guide. It tells you how to get BaseX running. The application can be run and used in various ways:
* as standalone application, using the [[Graphical User Interface]] or the [[Standalone Mode|Command-Line Interface]],* as [[Database Server|client/server]] application, or* as [[Web Application]], called from a web server. ====JavaRequirements====A Runtime Environment BaseX is platform independent and runs on any system that provides animplementation of [http://www.java.com Java 1.6] (JRE) is needed to run BaseX.BaseX is platform independent and runs on any system that provides a Java Virtual Machine.BaseX It has been tested on Windows (2000, XP, Vista, 7), Max OS X (10.x),
Linux(SuSE xxx, Debian, Ubuntu) and OpenBSD (4.x).
====Concurrent Operations====
If you plan to perform concurrent read and write operations on a single database,
the client/server architecture is the right choice. You may safely open the same database
in different JVMs (Java virtual machines) for read-only access, and you won’t encounter any
problems when reading from or writing to different databases, but your update operations will
be rejected if the database to be written to is currently opened by another virtual machine.
