Looking for another platform? See the complete list of platforms RethinkDB supports.
We provide binaries for Wheezy and Jessie, 32-bit and 64-bit.
To install the server, you have to add the repository to your list of
repositories and install via apt-get
. To do this, paste the
following lines into your terminal:
export CODENAME=`lsb_release -cs`
echo "deb https://download.rethinkdb.com/repository/debian-$CODENAME $CODENAME main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rethinkdb.list
wget -qO- https://download.rethinkdb.com/repository/raw/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rethinkdb
If you followed the above instructions before July 2017 and want to upgrade to a newer version of RethinkDB, you will need to first download the new key (0742918E5C8DA04A):
$ wget -qO- https://download.rethinkdb.com/repository/raw/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -v -
Install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential protobuf-compiler python \
libprotobuf-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev \
libboost-all-dev libncurses5-dev \
libjemalloc-dev wget m4
Download and extract the archive:
wget https://download.rethinkdb.com/repository/raw/dist/rethinkdb-2.4.1.tgz
tar xf rethinkdb-2.4.1.tgz
Kick off the build process:
cd rethinkdb-2.4.1
./configure --allow-fetch
make
sudo make install
If you’re compiling on a multicore or multiprocessor machine, you may
be able to use make -j #
to speed up the build process, where ‘#’ is
the total number of CPU cores. (On a 4-core machine, you can use make
-j 4
.) However, some older versions of make
will produce a
segmentation fault error when using -j
with RethinkDB; if that
happens, just run make
without the -j
option.
Next steps: Now that you’ve installed RethinkDB, it’s time to install client drivers for your language.
