Install from a tarball

A self-contained build you can unpack anywhere. Useful for offline servers or custom setups.

Download and unpack

Download serenedb-<version>-linux-<arch>.tar.gz for your architecture (amd64 or arm64) from GitHub Releases and unpack it:

tar -xzf serenedb-*-linux-*.tar.gz

This creates a serenedb-<version>-linux-<arch>/ directory with the binary under usr/bin. Add that directory to your PATH (use the real directory name):

export PATH="$PWD/serenedb-<version>-linux-<arch>/usr/bin:$PATH"

Add the export line to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc to keep it after you close the terminal.

Start the server

serened

The server listens on 127.0.0.1:7890 and stores its data in a serenedb-data folder in the current directory. To use a different location, pass it as an argument: serened /var/lib/serenedb.

Your server is running. Continue with the Quick Start to connect and run your first query.
