Before You Begin

MonetDB is an open source software package. Prebuilt binary versions are available for:

  • Linux (64 bits), multiple flavours
  • macOS (64 bits)
  • Windows (64 and 32 bits)

Simply Download and install your preferred platform version to start your journey.

These prebuilt software packages include the MonetDB server software and command-line client software (mclient, msqldump) for ease of use.

If you prefer to use a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or intend to connect from applications written in Python, Java, PHP, Perl or Ruby then the proper driver or connector should be downloaded from Download Extensions section.

On Windows there are separate installers for the ODBC driver in the Download Windows page.

If you can not find the right prebuilt package, you can also download and Compile from Source.
