Installing SpiceDB on RHEL or CentOS

This document outlines how to install SpiceDB for systems running RPM-based Linux distributions.

Every release of SpiceDB publishes .rpm packages and tarballs for AMD64 and ARM64 Linux.

Installing SpiceDB using dnf

Before installing SpiceDB, you must first add the source for official SpiceDB RPM builds:

sudo cat << EOF >> /etc/yum.repos.d/authzed.repo
[authzed]
name=AuthZed Fury Repository
baseurl=https://pkg.authzed.com/yum/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF

You can now install SpiceDB and zed, the official command-line tool as normal:

sudo dnf install -y spicedb zed

Manually installing SpiceDB binary for Linux

Manual installations of SpiceDB for macOS can use the following command to download the latest release for their platform and architecture:

curl https://api.github.com/repos/authzed/spicedb/releases | \
jq --arg platform $(uname | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]') --arg arch $(uname -m) '.[0].assets.[] | select (.name | contains($platform+"_"+$arch)) | .browser_download_url' -r | \
xargs curl -LO

Afterwards, it is up to the user to extract the archive and decide where to place its contents on their systems.

We recommend following the XDG Base Directory Specification if you’re not trying to install SpiceDB system-wide.
