RDF export
The RDF export, mbdump.rdf.bz2 has gone for good. If you want a complete RDF export, please download the PostgreSQL database export (as described above), set up a MusicBrainz Server, then run mb_server/admin/RDFDump.pl to produce an RDF export.
Get files from the primary FTP server
Older data files, and other miscellaneous files are available from the MusicBrainz FTP server
Installation
There are a few contributed guidelines how to setup the database on different systems. See Database Setup for the list of available documents. The easiest way to get a running database is to install a Virtual MusicBrainz Server.
