In one terminal, fetch the latest Pravega release:

wget https://github.com/pravega/pravega/releases/download/v0.12.0/pravega-0.12.0.tgz
# or
#curl -OL https://github.com/pravega/pravega/releases/download/v0.12.0/pravega-0.12.0.tgz
tar zxvf pravega-0.12.0.tgz
cd pravega-0.12.0

Launch Pravega in your first terminal:

./bin/pravega-standalone

In another terminal, use the CLI tool to create a Scope and Stream:

./bin/pravega-cli
> scope create my-scope
> stream create my-scope/my-stream

Append some events using your Pravega CLI session:

> stream append my-scope/my-stream 5

Read those events back in the same CLI session:

> stream read my-scope/my-stream
q

(press "q" and "Enter" to quit reading)

Create a new stream, append some events with a routing key, and read them back:

> stream create my-scope/ordered-stream
> stream append my-scope/ordered-stream my-routing-key 5
> stream read my-scope/ordered-stream
q

(press "q" and "Enter" to quit reading)

In your second terminal, exit your pravega-cli session:

> exit

In your first terminal, terminate the pravega-standalone server:

Ctrl+C

In completing this guide, you have launched Pravega, created a scope, created a couple streams, written ordered and unordered events to those streams, and read the events back from each stream.

To use Pravega in real world applications, you’ll want to explore:

• Deploying Pravega with Kubernetes, and
• Using Pravega's Client APIs.
