Before installing YugabyteDB, ensure that you have the following available:

  • One of the supported operating systems.

  • Python 3.11. To check the version, execute the following command:

    sh
    python --version
    

    Starting from Ubuntu 20.04, python is no longer available. To fix this, run sudo apt install python-is-python3.

  • wget or curl.

    The instructions use the wget command to download files. If you prefer to use curl, you can replace wget with curl -LO.

    To install wget:

    • On CentOS, run yum install wget
    • On Ubuntu, run apt install wget

    To install curl:

    • On CentOS, run yum install curl
    • On Ubuntu, run apt install curl
