Hi @FullStackPlayer, make sure you have upgraded to the 1.0.0-beta.7 version and then start the database using the following command:

surreal start --log trace --user root --pass root file:/Users/nationtech/SurrealDB

The file: denotes that it will use the file storage implementation. The /Users/nationtech/SurrealDB is the location path of the storage folder. That will create a SurrealDB folder which will contain all of the database files (powered by RocksDB).

As a further example you could use file:mydatabase to create a folder mydatabase in the current directory.

Let me know if you have any further questions!
