Hi Jyothsna,

To avoid confusion: BabuDB is an _embedded_ database i.e., a library
which you have to link to your application. You cannot install it like
an SQL server. If you want to use BabuDB for Java, you can download the
latest release at http://code.google.com/p/babudb/downloads, preferably
the one with all dependencies included, and add the JAR to your
application classpath. Inside your application, you can use the
BabuDBFactory class to instantiate BabuDB and access it as described in
the Wiki at http://code.google.com/p/babudb/wiki/UsageExampleJava.

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Best regards,
Jan
