The main purpose of piladb is to be easy to understand, and easier to use. If you are trying to get started and you failed, don't blame yourself, we didn't do our job correctly!
Before installing piladb, it's worth to mention that it was designed and developed with Linux systems in mind. Although, compatibility and first class support for macOS is guaranteed, and it will stay like this forever. Said this, piladb should work on Windows too, yet there's not official support as of now.
