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:

  shCopy

  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
