5 To install Ceph and other enabling software, you need to retrieve packages from
6 the Ceph repository. Follow this guide to get packages; then, proceed to the
7 `Install Ceph Object Storage`_.
13 There are two ways to get packages:
15 - **Add Repositories:** Adding repositories is the easiest way to get packages,
16 because package management tools will retrieve the packages and all enabling
17 software for you in most cases. However, to use this approach, each
18 :term:`Ceph Node` in your cluster must have internet access.
20 - **Download Packages Manually:** Downloading packages manually is a convenient
21 way to install Ceph if your environment does not allow a :term:`Ceph Node` to
28 All Ceph deployments require Ceph packages (except for development). You should
29 also add keys and recommended packages.
31 - **Keys: (Recommended)** Whether you add repositories or download packages
32 manually, you should download keys to verify the packages. If you do not get
33 the keys, you may encounter security warnings. There are two keys: one for
34 releases (common) and one for development (programmers and QA only). Choose
35 the key that suits your needs. See `Add Keys`_ for details.
37 - **Ceph: (Required)** All Ceph deployments require Ceph release packages,
38 except for deployments that use development packages (development, QA, and
39 bleeding edge deployments only). See `Add Ceph`_ for details.
41 - **Ceph Development: (Optional)** If you are developing for Ceph, testing Ceph
42 development builds, or if you want features from the bleeding edge of Ceph
43 development, you may get Ceph development packages. See
44 `Add Ceph Development`_ for details.
46 - **Apache/FastCGI: (Optional)** If you are deploying a
47 :term:`Ceph Object Storage` service, you must install Apache and FastCGI.
48 Ceph provides Apache and FastCGI builds that are identical to those available
49 from Apache, but with 100-continue support. If you want to enable
50 :term:`Ceph Object Gateway` daemons with 100-continue support, you must
51 retrieve Apache/FastCGI packages from the Ceph repository.
52 See `Add Apache/FastCGI`_ for details.
55 If you intend to download packages manually, see Section `Download Packages`_.
61 Add a key to your system's list of trusted keys to avoid a security warning. For
62 major releases (e.g., ``hammer``, ``jewel``) and development releases
63 (``release-name-rc1``, ``release-name-rc2``), use the ``release.asc`` key. For
64 development testing packages, use the ``autobuild.asc`` key (developers and
71 To install the ``release.asc`` key, execute the following::
73 wget -q -O- 'https://download.ceph.com/keys/release.asc' | sudo apt-key add -
76 To install the ``autobuild.asc`` key, execute the following
77 (QA and developers only)::
79 wget -q -O- 'https://download.ceph.com/keys/autobuild.asc' | sudo apt-key add -
85 To install the ``release.asc`` key, execute the following::
87 sudo rpm --import 'https://download.ceph.com/keys/release.asc'
89 To install the ``autobuild.asc`` key, execute the following
90 (QA and developers only)::
92 sudo rpm --import 'https://download.ceph.com/keys/autobuild.asc'
98 Release repositories use the ``release.asc`` key to verify packages.
99 To install Ceph packages with the Advanced Package Tool (APT) or
100 Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM), you must add Ceph repositories.
102 You may find releases for Debian/Ubuntu (installed with APT) at::
104 https://download.ceph.com/debian-{release-name}
106 You may find releases for CentOS/RHEL and others (installed with YUM) at::
108 https://download.ceph.com/rpm-{release-name}
110 The major releases of Ceph are summarized at: :doc:`/releases`.
112 Every second major release is considered Long Term Stable (LTS). Critical
113 bugfixes are backported to LTS releases until their retirement. Since retired
114 releases are no longer maintained, we recommend that users upgrade their
115 clusters regularly - preferably to the latest LTS release.
117 The most recent LTS release is Jewel (10.2.x).
119 .. tip:: For international users: There might be a mirror close to you where download Ceph from. For more information see: `Ceph Mirrors`_.
124 Add a Ceph package repository to your system's list of APT sources. For newer
125 versions of Debian/Ubuntu, call ``lsb_release -sc`` on the command line to
126 get the short codename, and replace ``{codename}`` in the following command. ::
128 sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://download.ceph.com/debian-jewel/ {codename} main'
130 For early Linux distributions, you may execute the following command::
132 echo deb https://download.ceph.com/debian-jewel/ $(lsb_release -sc) main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list
134 For earlier Ceph releases, replace ``{release-name}`` with the name with the
135 name of the Ceph release. You may call ``lsb_release -sc`` on the command line
136 to get the short codename, and replace ``{codename}`` in the following command.
139 sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://download.ceph.com/debian-{release-name}/ {codename} main'
141 For older Linux distributions, replace ``{release-name}`` with the name of the
144 echo deb https://download.ceph.com/debian-{release-name}/ $(lsb_release -sc) main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list
146 Ceph on ARM processors requires Google's memory profiling tools (``google-perftools``).
147 The Ceph repository should have a copy at
148 https://download.ceph.com/packages/google-perftools/debian. ::
150 echo deb https://download.ceph.com/packages/google-perftools/debian $(lsb_release -sc) main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-perftools.list
153 For development release packages, add our package repository to your system's
154 list of APT sources. See `the testing Debian repository`_ for a complete list
155 of Debian and Ubuntu releases supported. ::
157 echo deb https://download.ceph.com/debian-testing/ $(lsb_release -sc) main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list
159 .. tip:: For international users: There might be a mirror close to you where download Ceph from. For more information see: `Ceph Mirrors`_.
164 For major releases, you may add a Ceph entry to the ``/etc/yum.repos.d``
165 directory. Create a ``ceph.repo`` file. In the example below, replace
166 ``{ceph-release}`` with a major release of Ceph (e.g., ``hammer``, ``jewel``,
167 etc.) and ``{distro}`` with your Linux distribution (e.g., ``el7``, etc.). You
168 may view https://download.ceph.com/rpm-{ceph-release}/ directory to see which
169 distributions Ceph supports. Some Ceph packages (e.g., EPEL) must take priority
170 over standard packages, so you must ensure that you set
174 name=Ceph packages for $basearch
175 baseurl=https://download.ceph.com/rpm-{ceph-release}/{distro}/$basearch
179 gpgkey=https://download.ceph.com/keys/release.asc
182 name=Ceph noarch packages
183 baseurl=https://download.ceph.com/rpm-{ceph-release}/{distro}/noarch

190 name=Ceph source packages
191 baseurl=https://download.ceph.com/rpm-{ceph-release}/{distro}/SRPMS
195 gpgkey=https://download.ceph.com/keys/release.asc
198 For development release packages, you may specify the repository
199 for development releases instead. ::
202 name=Ceph packages for $basearch/$releasever
203 baseurl=https://download.ceph.com/rpm-testing/{distro}/$basearch
207 gpgkey=https://download.ceph.com/keys/release.asc
210 name=Ceph noarch packages
211 baseurl=https://download.ceph.com/rpm-testing/{distro}/noarch
215 gpgkey=https://download.ceph.com/keys/release.asc
218 name=Ceph source packages
219 baseurl=https://download.ceph.com/rpm-testing/{distro}/SRPMS
223 gpgkey=https://download.ceph.com/keys/release.asc
226 For specific packages, you may retrieve them by specifically downloading the
227 release package by name. Our development process generates a new release of Ceph
228 every 3-4 weeks. These packages are faster-moving than the major releases.
229 Development packages have new features integrated quickly, while still
230 undergoing several weeks of QA prior to release.
232 The repository package installs the repository details on your local system for
233 use with ``yum``. Replace ``{distro}`` with your Linux distribution, and
234 ``{release}`` with the specific release of Ceph::
236 su -c 'rpm -Uvh https://download.ceph.com/rpms/{distro}/x86_64/ceph-{release}.el7.noarch.rpm'
238 You can download the RPMs directly from::
240 https://download.ceph.com/rpm-testing
242 .. tip:: For international users: There might be a mirror close to you where download Ceph from. For more information see: `Ceph Mirrors`_.
248 Development repositories use the ``autobuild.asc`` key to verify packages.
249 If you are developing Ceph and need to deploy and test specific Ceph branches,
250 ensure that you remove repository entries for major releases first.
256 We automatically build Debian and Ubuntu packages for current
257 development branches in the Ceph source code repository. These
258 packages are intended for developers and QA only.
260 Add our package repository to your system's list of APT sources, but
261 replace ``{BRANCH}`` with the branch you'd like to use (e.g., chef-3,
262 wip-hack, master). See `the gitbuilder page`_ for a complete
263 list of distributions we build. ::
265 echo deb http://gitbuilder.ceph.com/ceph-deb-$(lsb_release -sc)-x86_64-basic/ref/{BRANCH} $(lsb_release -sc) main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list
271 For current development branches, you may add a Ceph entry to the
272 ``/etc/yum.repos.d`` directory. Create a ``ceph.repo`` file. In the example
273 below, replace ``{distro}`` with your Linux distribution (e.g., ``el7``), and
274 ``{branch}`` with the name of the branch you want to install. ::
278 name=Ceph source packages
279 baseurl=http://gitbuilder.ceph.com/ceph-rpm-{distro}-x86_64-basic/ref/{branch}/SRPMS
282 gpgkey=https://download.ceph.com/keys/autobuild.asc
285 You may view http://gitbuilder.ceph.com directory to see which distributions
292 Ceph Object Gateway works with ordinary Apache and FastCGI libraries. However,
293 Ceph builds Apache and FastCGI packages that support 100-continue. To use the
294 Ceph Apache and FastCGI packages, add them to your repository.
300 Add our Apache and FastCGI packages to your system's list of APT sources if you intend to
303 echo deb http://gitbuilder.ceph.com/apache2-deb-$(lsb_release -sc)-x86_64-basic/ref/master $(lsb_release -sc) main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph-apache.list

310 You may add a Ceph entry to the ``/etc/yum.repos.d`` directory. Create a
311 ``ceph-apache.repo`` file. In the example below, replace ``{distro}`` with your
312 Linux distribution (e.g., ``el7``). You may view http://gitbuilder.ceph.com
313 directory to see which distributions Ceph supports.
