Installation Guide » Install on LINUX

This is the CUBRID Installation Guide for Linux User. If you have not downloaded CUBRID installation package for Linux, there are two versions available for users: one for Linux 32-bit, the other for Linux 64-bit. Please download the one suitable for your operating system.

The installation program consists of binary shells, therefore, can be installed automatically. In order to start the installation, transfer the CUBRID installation package file in binary mode to the Linux server via FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

Setup the program as shown in the following example:

1. $ sh CUBRID-8.1.0.1162-linux.sh
   Input the CUBRID install directory. [Default: /home/cubrid/CUBRID] :
   Install CUBRID to /home/cubrid/CUBRID...
   In case a different version of the CUBRID product is being used in other machines, please note that the CUBRID 2008 R1.0 servers are only compatible with the CUBRID 2008 R1.0 clients and vice versa.
   Do you want to continue? (y/n) [Default: y] : y
2. At this point CUBRID should be successfully installed on your machine.
   A demo database named demodb should also be successfully created.
3. If you want to start using CUBRID, run the following commands
   % . /home/cubrid/.cubrid.sh
   % cubrid service start

As shown in the example above, after installing the downloaded file (CUBRID-8.1.0.1162-linux.sh), the CUBRID related environment information must be set in order to use the CUBRID database. Such setting is applied automatically when logging in the terminal, therefore the following command is needed to be run once after the installation.

Now, you can connect with CUBRID Manager to the CUBRID Manager Server. At any time if your server is stopped, you may start it with the following command:

In order to check whether the services are running after starting the CUBRID service, check that the cub_* processes have been started with a grep command (as shown below).

$ ps -ef | grep cub_ cubrid 15200 1 0 18:57 ? 00:00:00 cub_master
