Once you install VoltDB, you can use the sample applications to see VoltDB in action and get a better understanding of how it works. The easiest way to do this is to set directory to the /examples folder where VoltDB is installed. Each sample application has its own subdirectory and a run.sh script to simplify building and running the application. See the README file in the /examples subfolder for a complete list of the applications and further instructions.

Once you get a taste for what VoltDB can do, we recommend following the VoltDB tutorial to understand how to create your own applications using VoltDB.
