The currently recommendet way to start an arangodb cluster without DC/OS is to use the ArangoDBStarter , which does automatically take care of all those parameters.

You run ArangoDBStarter on the primary node first. You specify the IP its going to be available at.Then on all other nodes telling the instances on those hosts which IP the primary host has - it will output the slave commands so you just need to cut'n'paste them.

If you try a sample setup on a single machine you can invoke ArangoDBStarter multiple times there (At least 3 times in total).

It should get you up and running without any troubles.
