• Homomorphic Encryption: Perform computations on encrypted data without decryption
• Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC): Advanced concurrency control
• Cross-Platform: Runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows

Architecture

• aura-common: Core data structures and serialization
• aura-security: Cryptographic primitives and FHE operations
• aura-store: Storage engine with encryption
• aura-query: Query processing and optimization
• aura-server: Network server and API
• aura-cli: Command-line interface

Production Installation

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora)

Using .deb packages:

# Install cargo-deb
cargo install cargo-deb

# Build packages
cargo deb -p aura-server
cargo deb -p aura-cli

# Install (creates systemd service automatically)
sudo dpkg -i target/debian/aura-server_*.deb
sudo dpkg -i target/debian/aura-cli_*.deb

# Start service
sudo systemctl start aura-server
sudo systemctl enable aura-server

Using .rpm packages (Fedora/RHEL):

# Install cargo-generate-rpm
cargo install cargo-generate-rpm

# Build RPMs
cargo generate-rpm -p aura-server
cargo generate-rpm -p aura-cli

# Install
sudo rpm -i target/generate-rpm/aura-server-*.rpm
sudo rpm -i target/generate-rpm/aura-cli-*.rpm

Windows

Using .msi installers:

# Install cargo-wix
cargo install cargo-wix

# Build MSI installers
cargo wix -p aura-server
cargo wix -p aura-cli

# Install (double-click the .msi files)
# This creates a Windows Service and adds binaries to PATH

macOS

Using .pkg installer:

# Run the macOS build script
./build_mac_pkg.sh

# Install
sudo installer -pkg target/aura-db-*.pkg -target /

# Start service
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.aura.db.plist

Universal Build Script

Build packages for all platforms:

# Build for current platform
./build_packages.sh

# Build for specific platform
./build_packages.sh linux    # .deb/.rpm
./build_packages.sh windows  # .msi
./build_packages.sh macos    # .pkg

# Build for all platforms (if cross-compiling setup)
./build_packages.sh all

Service Management

Linux (systemd):

sudo systemctl status aura-server
sudo systemctl restart aura-server
sudo systemctl stop aura-server
journalctl -u aura-server -f  # View logs

Windows (services.msc):

• Open Services.msc
• Find "AuraDB" service
• Start/Stop/Restart as needed

macOS (launchd):

sudo launchctl list com.aura.db
sudo launchctl start com.aura.db
sudo launchctl stop com.aura.db
tail -f /var/log/aura.log  # View logs
