Installation

Getting Xapiand installed and ready-to-go should only take a few minutes. If it ever becomes a pain, please file an issue (or submit a pull request) describing the issue you encountered and how we might make the process easier.

Docker

docker pull ghcr.io/kronuz/xapiand:latest

Installation with Homebrew

Xapiand contains a formula for Homebrew (a package manager for OS X). It can be installed by using the following command:

brew install Kronuz/tap/xapiand

FreeBSD

A native FreeBSD package (amd64, built for FreeBSD 14) is attached to each release. Download it and install the local package file with:

pkg add ./xapiand-*.pkg

Linux

RPM (x86_64, aarch64) and DEB (amd64, arm64) packages are attached to each release. Download the one matching your distribution and architecture and install it:

# RPM-based (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, ...):
sudo rpm -i xapiand-*.x86_64.rpm

# DEB-based (Debian 13+, Ubuntu 24.04+):
sudo dpkg -i xapiand_*_amd64.deb

A multi-arch Docker image is also available for any distribution.

Building

You can also build and install from the sources if there’s no other way. You can find information about how to build from the sources here.
