Installation¶
This section of the documentation covers the installation of CrateDB on different kinds of operating systems and environments, both suitable for on-premises and development sandbox operations.
The first step to using any software package is getting it properly installed. Please read this section carefully.
We recommend to use the package-based installation methods for CrateDB on Debian, Ubuntu, and Derivates and CrateDB on Red Hat, SUSE, and Derivates, by subscribing to the corresponding package release channels.
Alternatively, you can also do a :ref:install-tarball.
Notes¶
After the installation is finished, the CrateDB service should be up and
running, and will run a HTTP server on localhost:4200. To access the
Admin UI from your local machine, navigate
to:
http://localhost:4200/
Note
CrateDB requires a Java virtual machine to run.
Starting with CrateDB 4.2, Java is bundled with CrateDB, and no extra installation is necessary.
CrateDB versions before 4.2 required a separate Java installation. For CrateDB 3.0 to 4.1, Java 11 is the minimum requirement. CrateDB versions before 3.0 require Java 8. We recommend to use OpenJDK on Linux Systems.
