DEB package

note

We provide different .deb packages for various deployments.

  • The development package (contains a -dev suffix e.g., ferretdb-dev.deb) is for debugging purposes. It includes features that significantly slow performance and is not recommended for production use.
  • For other use cases, we recommend the production package (e.g., ferretdb.deb).

To install the .deb packages for FerretDB on your Debian, Ubuntu, and other .deb-based systems, you can use dpkg tool.

Download the appropriate FerretDB .deb package from our release pages, rename it to ferretdb.deb, then run the following command in your terminal:

sudo dpkg -i ferretdb.deb

You can check that FerretDB was installed by running

ferretdb --version

The .deb package ships with the systemd unit for starting FerretDB automatically. For more information about its configuration, please take a look at systemd configuration guide.

FerretDB does not automatically install PostgreSQL and DocumentDB extension, see DocumentDB extension DEB package installation guide.
