Hi John, No golang setup is needed to run the ArangoDB starter `arangodb`. You can simply use the supplied executable.
By now, all binary packages we release should contain the starter executable. If this is not the case, this is a bug. I am no expert in Mac packaging and have no clue how the situation is with homebrew or the app bundle we ship. We need the Mac experts to look into this, I will alert Frank. In any case, you can always just download the latest starter executable from https://github.com/arangodb-helper/arangodb just see the releases thete. As to the name: our idea is that the arangodb starter tool is the primary tool to start ArangoDB in all configurations: single server, cluster and the upcoming single server resilience config. The user should either use a package in which ArangoDB is started automatically, or use the starter (or some orchestration solution like mesos or kubernetes). In the standard configuration the starter starts a cluster with a coordinator on each machine, by default on port 8529. You can then contact any of these endpoints to talk to the cluster. This at first concerns endpoints. You can use ip addresses or host names as you like. However, your DNS configuration is completely outside the scope of the starter and ArangoDB. You have to manage this by other means. I hope this answers your questions. I will alert the Macexperts about your other questions regarding homebrew.
