RPM package
We provide different .rpm packages for various deployments:
- a development package: for debugging problems, and includes features that make it significantly slower. For this reason, it is not recommended for production use.
- a production package: for all other cases.
Development packages include a -dev suffix (e.g. ferretdb-dev.rpm) and are not recommended for production use.
On the other hand, production packages do not include the -dev suffix (e.g. ferretdb.rpm).
To install the .rpm packages for FerretDB on your RHEL, CentOS, and other .rpm-based systems,
you can use rpm tool.
Download the latest FerretDB .rpm package from our release pages,
rename it to ferretdb.rpm,
then run the following command in your terminal:
sudo rpm -i ferretdb.rpm
You can check that FerretDB was installed by running
ferretdb --version
FerretDB does not automatically install PostgreSQL. To install PostgreSQL, run the following commands:
sudo yum install -y postgresql
The .rpm package ships with the systemd unit for starting FerretDB automatically.
For more information about its configuration, please take a look at systemd configuration guide.
