MonetDB Testing Download Area for Debian and Ubuntu

This directory contains release candidates for testing for Debian and Ubuntu. The packages found here are unsupported, although feedback is greatly appreciated.

We generally only build for maintained versions of Debian and Ubuntu:

Create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/monetdb.list with the following contents (replacing "suite" with your system's code name which you may be able to get by running the command lsb_release -cs):

deb https://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/testing/deb/ suite monetdb
deb-src https://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/testing/deb/ suite monetdb

Then issue the following command to install the MonetDB GPG public key:

wget --output-document=- /downloads/MonetDB-GPG-KEY | sudo apt-key add -

After this, you can use apt to install the MonetDB packages. First run:

sudo apt update

To install MonetDB/SQL, use the command:

sudo apt install monetdb5-sql monetdb-client

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.
