DEB package

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

Download the latest 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

FerretDB does not automatically install PostgreSQL or other backends. To install PostgreSQL, run the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y postgresql

Currently, our .deb package does not provide a SystemD unit for starting FerretDB automatically. You have to do it manually by running ferretdb binary with the correct flags.
