When you start bitcoind just pass the `-txindex` flag in order to have it create the transaction index to be able to get any transaction by id:

```
bitcoind -txindex

```

In the console, you can get any raw transaction by its transaction id (hash):

```
bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction
15f7c2c57cce37d9b8927f957840ec9367bb504780347e497c758ee022b2a143

...

```
