MonetDB Download Area for RHEL, CentOS, SL

This directory contains RPMs for EPEL-compatible systems. These systems include Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and Scientific Linux.

All commands on this page should be executed as superuser (root). You may be able to add sudo in front of every command, or else run su first.

Install the MonetDB-release-epel package:

yum install https://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/epel/MonetDB-release-epel.noarch.rpm

Alternatively, download the file monetdb.repo and copy it to your /etc/yum.repos.d directory. You should then also install the MonetDB GPG public key:

rpm --import https://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/MonetDB-GPG-KEY

After this, you can use yum install MonetDB\* to install the MonetDB packages. Or more specifically, to install MonetDB/SQL, use:

yum install MonetDB-SQL MonetDB-client

Note that the MonetDB-geom and MonetDB-python3 packages require that the epel-release package is installed first since they depend on respectively the geos and python3-numpy packages which are available from the EPEL repository.

Add any users who are allowed to run a database server in the default location (/var/monetdb5/dbfarm) to the monetdb group, which was automatically created in the previous step:

usermod -a -G monetdb $USER

Then log out and back in again to activate this change. After this you can run monetdbd or mserver5.

Further information about the "Mar2025" release is available in the release notes.
