Installation

RDBMS Playground is a single self-contained program. There is nothing to configure and no separate database to install — everything it needs is built in.

Download the binary for your platform, make it executable if needed, and put it somewhere on your PATH.

Once published, the playground will be installable through common package managers:

Terminal window
# macOS / Linux (Homebrew)
brew install rdbms-playground
# Windows (Scoop)
scoop install rdbms-playground

Start the playground with no arguments and it opens a fresh, automatically named temporary project so you can start experimenting immediately:

Terminal window
rdbms-playground

To open an existing project, pass its path:

Terminal window
rdbms-playground path/to/project

Useful options (run rdbms-playground --help for the full list):

OptionWhat it does
--resumeReopen the most recently used project.
--data-dir <PATH>Use a different location for stored projects.
--theme <light|dark>Force a theme instead of auto-detecting.
--mode <simple|advanced>Start in a specific input mode.

Next: create your first project.
