For a more practical approach — install a TypeDB server and use our Quickstart guide to set up a TypeDB environment to explore its capabilities further.

Upon setting up a working TypeDB environment, we recommend to explore the following:

the Fundamentals section for essential knowledge about TypeDB,
the Development section for the in-detail documentation of the TypeDB development workflow,
the Operations section for the instructions for setting up a production environment,
or the Tutorials section for how-to guides and the IAM schema explanation.
