Hi, the current documentation is a bit confused for an ArangoDB beginner. The [agency1] is actually the REAL directory it is trying to create and not some identifier.
This is because the database directories in the examples are specified on the command line via the unintuitive shortcut to leave out --database.directory which is really not helpful and confusing. I will fix the documentation. The fix is to leave out the 'agency1' stuff in the command line to start arangodb and instead specify a database.directory in the config. I answered your SO issue here as well: http://stackoverflow.com/a/39119271/4853944 Am Dienstag, 23.
