DEB package
We provide different .deb 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.deb) and are not recommended for production use.
On the other hand, production packages do not include the -dev suffix (e.g. ferretdb.deb).
To install the .deb packages for FerretDB on your Debian, Ubuntu, and other .deb-based systems,
you can use dpkg tool.
Download the appropriate FerretDB .deb package from our release pages,

then run the following command in your terminal:
sudo dpkg -i ferretdb.deb
You can check that FerretDB was installed by running

The .deb package ships with the systemd unit for starting FerretDB automatically.
