Learn to install FerretDB on your local machine

This chapter walks through installing and running FerretDB on common platforms and package formats. The subsections cover installing from a DEB package on Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, from an RPM package on RHEL/Fedora/CentOS-based systems, managing the service with a Systemd unit file, installing on macOS, on Windows, and using FerretDB as a Go library. Choose the installation method that matches your operating system and deployment target, then follow the corresponding subsection to install the binary, configure service management, and verify that FerretDB starts and accepts MongoDB-compatible connections.
