Server setup
The MusicBrainz Server is not available as an executable application. Setting up the server will require you to checkout the source code and follow the INSTALL file's instructions.
The MusicBrainz Database contains all the metadata information available on musicbrainz.org and it's free for anyone to download and make use of it (and we encourage this!). Setting it up will require access to a PostgreSQL database. See instructions from server setup or use third-party [1].
Server environment variables that may prove useful
Search Server Setup and Search Indexer Setup if you're brave enough to want to try.
Embedded metadata

Communicating with other developers
IRC: Here's where you ask questions of real live people, if anyone's awake. You love it, you know it.
Forum: And here's where you ask if we aren't awake, or for anything style-related or needing more consideration than can be easily given in IRC.
MusicBrainz Summits: These happen occasionally, and people get together and talk about MusicBrainz. You should consider coming! Even if not, the discussions had here are sometimes important, and might be worth perusing.
