# 2.3. Debian GNU/Linux

This section describes how to install Groonga related deb packages on Debian GNU/Linux. You can install them by `apt`.

We distribute both 32-bit and 64-bit packages but we strongly recommend a 64-bit package for server. You should use a 32-bit package just only for tests or development. You will encounter an out of memory error with a 32-bit package even if you just process medium size data.

## 2.3.1. bookworm

Added in version 13.0.2.

Install `groonga-apt-source`:

    % sudo apt update
    % sudo apt install -y -V ca-certificates lsb-release wget
    % wget https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/arrow/$(lsb_release --id --short | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')/apache-arrow-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb
    % sudo apt install -y -V ./apache-arrow-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb
    % sudo apt update
    % wget https://packages.groonga.org/debian/groonga-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb
    % sudo apt install -y -V ./groonga-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb
    % sudo apt update

Install:

    % sudo apt install -y -V groonga

Note

`groonga` package is the minimum set of fulltext search engine. If you want to use Groonga for server use, you can install additional preconfigured packages.

There are two packages for server use.

- Groonga HTTP server (HTTP based server package)
