Installing SpiceDB on Ubuntu or Debian

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

SpiceDB publishes .deb packages, snap packages, and tarballs for AMD64 and ARM64 architectures. For .rpm package installations, refer to the RHEL/CentOS guide.

Installing SpiceDB using APT

First, download the repository's public signing key:

curl -sS https://pkg.authzed.com/apt/gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/authzed.gpg

Then configure the repository source:

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/authzed.gpg] https://pkg.authzed.com/apt/ * *" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/authzed.list
sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/authzed.list

Alternatively, use the newer deb822 format by adding to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/authzed.sources:

Types: deb
URIs: https://pkg.authzed.com/apt/
Suites: *
Components: *
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/authzed.gpg

Finally, install the package:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y spicedb

Installing SpiceDB using Snap

SpiceDB is available through the Snap Store:

sudo snap install spicedb

Manually Installing SpiceDB Binary for Linux

Download the latest release automatically:

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

Extract the archive and decide where to place its contents on your system.

It is recommended to follow the XDG Base Directory Specification if you're not trying to install SpiceDB system-wide.
