[edit] Introduction

Please read the MusicBrainz Database product page and the database schema documentation if you are not familiar with the MusicBrainz Database.

[edit] Setup

There are a two different methods to get a local database up and running, you can either:

• Download a pre-configured virtual image of the MusicBrainz Server, or
• Download the data dumps and follow the relevant section of the INSTALL.md

[edit] Replication

If you are interested in keeping the data in sync with MusicBrainz using our live data feed, you can either:

• Enable replication in the pre-configured virtual image,
• Use an alternative PostgreSQL setup using mbslave that includes replication without the rest of MusicBrainz Server, or
• Use an alternative MySQL setup using mbzdb that includes replication without the rest of MusicBrainz Server

[edit] Download

The data dumps are available for downloaded at http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/data/fullexport/.
