DEB package

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

We provide different .deb packages for various deployments on our release page.

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

Download the appropriate FerretDB .deb package from our release page, 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.
