Debian package

To install the .deb packages for FerretDB on your Debian, Ubuntu, Linux, and other Unix-like systems, you can use apt or dpkg.

Download the latest FerretDB .deb package from our release pages.

To install FerretDB .deb package using dpkg, run the following command in your terminal:

$ sudo apt update
# Install using dpkg
$ sudo dpkg -i <filename>.deb

It’s important to note that dpkg doesn’t address dependencies. If you encounter any errors related to dependencies when installing, you can resolve them by installing all package dependencies with the following command:

sudo apt install -f

Instead of using dpkg, you can use apt to manage, install, and resolve all package dependencies automatically. However, you must specify the full path to the .deb package. This will stop apt from downloading and installing from Ubuntu’s repositories.

For example, if the file is in your current working directory, indicate the path by prepending "./" to the filename.

$ sudo apt update
# Install via apt
$ sudo apt install ./<filename>.deb

Once FerretDB is installed, you can start the software. See our Docker guide and Configuration flags and variables page for more details.
