Server Download & Deployment
The ZTeraDB server control plane is distributed as a single, cross-platform standalone ZIP package containing all required engines and a local configuration guide.
1. Download the Desired Release
All production releases are available through the official ZTeraDB Download Center.
Each release includes:
- Server package download
- Version-specific Release Notes
- Upgrade and migration information
- Compatibility details
Before downloading or upgrading, review the Release Notes associated with your target version to understand any breaking changes, migration requirements, or dependency updates.
👉 Go to ZTeraDB Central Downloads Matrix
Always read the Release Notes before installing or upgrading a ZTeraDB server instance. Release Notes may contain important information about schema migrations, configuration changes, compatibility requirements, or upgrade procedures.
2. Extract the Archive
After downloading the server package, extract the archive and navigate to the installation directory.
unzip zteradb-server.zip
cd zteradb-server
The extracted directory contains all files required to deploy and operate the selected ZTeraDB release.
3. Follow the Included Deployment Guide
Every server package contains a version-specific README.md file located in the root directory. This document serves as the authoritative deployment guide for that release and should be followed during installation.
The included README provides:
- System requirements and resource recommendations
- Required environment variables and configuration settings
- Startup and validation commands
- Network and service configuration guidance
- Version-specific deployment instructions
Because deployment requirements may vary between releases, always follow the README bundled with the downloaded package rather than instructions from older versions.
