This directory contains the packages for Debian and Ubuntu.
We currently build for the following versions of Debian and Ubuntu:
Create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/monetdb.list
with the following contents (replacing "oneiric" as
needed with "lenny", "squeeze",
"karmic", "lucid", "maverick", or "natty"):
deb http://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/deb/ oneiric monetdb deb-src http://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/deb/ oneiric monetdb
Then issue the following command to install the MonetDB GPG public key:
wget --output-document=- http://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/MonetDB-GPG-KEY | sudo apt-key add -
After this, you can use apt-get to install the
MonetDB packages. First run:
sudo apt-get update
To install MonetDB/SQL, use the command:
sudo apt-get install monetdb5-sql monetdb-client
To install MonetDB/XQuery, use the command (note that MonetDB/XQuery is no longer supported):
sudo apt-get install monetdb-xquery libmonetdb4-xquery
Add any users who are allowed to run a database server to the
monetdb group, which was automatically created in
the previous step:
sudo usermod -a -G monetdb $USER
Then log out and back in again to activate this change. After this
you can run monetdbd or mserver5
(if using MonetDB/SQL), or Mserver (if using
MonetDB/XQuery).
Note that MonetDB/XQuery is only available for Debian 5.0 and 6.0 and for Ubuntu 10.10 and earlier.
Further information about the "Dec2011" release is available in the release notes.
