Phase D foundation. Configures the pragmatic four-section sidebar (Getting started / Guides / Reference / Concepts) and replaces the template example pages with grounded content built on the shared "library" example database (authors/books/members/loans): - Getting started: installation, first project, simple vs advanced, the example library. - Reference: Types (all ten + serial/shortid + advanced aliases), Tables (create/drop, compound PK, advanced CREATE TABLE). - Concepts: projects & storage (readable files, derived database, autosave, temp projects). - Guides: Build the library (draft, to be refined for teaching). Command syntax grounded in en-US.yaml usage/help, command.rs, and types.rs (verified against tests). Records the settled doc decisions in STYLE.md. Build green (10 pages, Pagefind); content clean of "DSL"/engine-name.

| Installation | Install RDBMS Playground from a prebuilt binary or a package manager, and run it for the first time. |
|
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.
Prebuilt binaries
Download the binary for your platform, make it executable if needed, and
put it somewhere on your PATH.
:::note Download links are published with each release. They are added here when the first public version ships. :::
Package managers
Once published, the playground will be installable through common package managers:
# macOS / Linux (Homebrew)
brew install rdbms-playground
# Windows (Scoop)
scoop install rdbms-playground
:::note Package-manager availability lands with the first public release; the exact names are confirmed here at that time. :::
Run it
Start the playground with no arguments and it opens a fresh, automatically named temporary project so you can start experimenting immediately:
rdbms-playground
To open an existing project, pass its path:
rdbms-playground path/to/project
Useful options (run rdbms-playground --help for the full list):
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
--resume |
Reopen 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.
