The simplest method to install Manticore on RedHat/CentOS is by using our YUM repository:

Install the repository:

sudo yum install https://repo.manticoresearch.com/manticore-repo.noarch.rpm

Then install Manticore Search:

sudo yum install manticore manticore-extra

If you are upgrading to Manticore 6 from an older version, it is recommended to remove your old packages first to avoid conflicts caused by the updated package structure:

sudo yum remove manticore*

It won't remove your data and configuration file.

If you prefer "Nightly" (development) versions do:

sudo yum -y install https://repo.manticoresearch.com/manticore-repo.noarch.rpm && \
sudo yum -y --enablerepo manticore-dev install manticore manticore-extra manticore-common manticore-server manticore-server-core manticore-tools manticore-executor manticore-buddy manticore-backup manticore-columnar-lib manticore-server-core-debuginfo manticore-tools-debuginfo manticore-columnar-lib-debuginfo  manticore-icudata manticore-galera manticore-galera-debuginfo manticore-language-packs

To download standalone RPM files from the Manticore repository, follow the instructions available at https://manticoresearch.com/install/.

If you plan to use indexer to create tables from external sources, you'll need to make sure you have installed corresponding client libraries in order to make available of indexing sources you want. The line below will install all of them at once; feel free to use it as is, or to reduce it to install only libraries you need (for only mysql sources - just mysql-libs should be enough, and unixODBC is not necessary).

sudo yum install mysql-libs postgresql-libs expat unixODBC

In CentOS Stream 8 you may need to run:

dnf install mariadb-connector-c

if you get error sql_connect: MySQL source wasn't initialized. Wrong name in dlopen? trying to build a plain table from MySQL.

The lemmatizer requires Python 3.9+. Make sure you have it installed and that it's configured with --enable-shared.

Here's how to install Python 3.9 and the Ukrainian lemmatizer in Centos 7/8:

# install Manticore Search and UK lemmatizer from YUM repository
yum -y install https://repo.manticoresearch.com/manticore-repo.noarch.rpm
yum -y install manticore manticore-lemmatizer-uk

# install packages needed for building Python
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" -y
yum install openssl-devel libffi-devel bzip2-devel wget -y

# download, build and install Python 3.9
cd ~
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.2/Python-3.9.2.tgz
tar xvf Python-3.9.2.tgz
cd Python-3.9*/
./configure --enable-optimizations --enable-shared
make -j8 altinstall

# update linker cache
ldconfig

# install pymorphy2 and UK dictionary
pip3.9 install pymorphy2[fast]
pip3.9 install pymorphy2-dicts-uk

The easiest way to install Manticore in Ubuntu/Debian/Mint is by using our APT repository.

Install the repository:

wget https://repo.manticoresearch.com/manticore-repo.noarch.deb
sudo dpkg -i manticore-repo.noarch.deb
sudo apt update

(install wget if it's not installed; install gnupg2 if apt-key fails).

Then install Manticore Search:

sudo apt install manticore manticore-extra

If you are upgrading to Manticore 6 from an older version, it is recommended to remove your old packages first to avoid conflicts caused by the updated package structure:

sudo apt remove manticore*

It won't remove your data and configuration file.

If you prefer "Nightly" (development) versions do:

wget https://repo.manticoresearch.com/manticore-dev-repo.noarch.deb && \
sudo dpkg -i manticore-dev-repo.noarch.deb && \
sudo apt -y update && \
sudo apt -y install manticore manticore-extra manticore-common manticore-server manticore-server-core manticore-tools manticore-executor manticore-buddy manticore-backup manticore-columnar-lib manticore-server-core-dbgsym manticore-tools-dbgsym manticore-columnar-lib-dbgsym manticore-icudata-65l manticore-galera manticore-galera-dbgsym manticore-language-packs

To download standalone DEB files from the Manticore repository, follow the instructions available at https://manticoresearch.com/install/.

Manticore package depends on zlib and ssl libraries, nothing else is strictly required. However, if you plan to use indexer to create tables from external storages, you'll need to install appropriate client libraries. To find out what specific libraries indexer requires, run it and look at the top of its output:

$ sudo -u manticore indexer

Here you can see mentions of libodbc.so.2, libexpat.so.1, libmysqlclient.so.20, and libpq.so.5.

Below is a reference table with a list of all the client libraries for different Debian/Ubuntu versions:

Distr	MySQL	PostgreSQL	XMLpipe	UnixODBC
Ubuntu Trusty	libmysqlclient.so.18	libpq.so.5	libexpat.so.1	libodbc.so.1
Ubuntu Bionic	libmysqlclient.so.20	libpq.so.5	libexpat.so.1	libodbc.so.2
Ubuntu Focal	libmysqlclient.so.21	libpq.so.5	libexpat.so.1	libodbc.so.2
Ubuntu Hirsute	libmysqlclient.so.21	libpq.so.5	libexpat.so.1	libodbc.so.2
Ubuntu Jammy	libmysqlclient.so.21	libpq.so.5	libexpat.so.1	libodbc.so.2
Debian Jessie	libmysqlclient.so.18	libpq.so.5	libexpat.so.1	libodbc.so.2
Debian Buster	libmariadb.so.3	libpq.so.5	libexpat.so.1	libodbc.so.2
Debian Bullseye	libmariadb.so.3	libpq.so.5	libexpat.so.1	libodbc.so.2
Debian Bookworm	libmariadb.so.3	libpq.so.5	libexpat.so.1	libodbc.so.2

To find packages that provide the libraries, you can use, for example, apt-file:

apt-file find libmysqlclient.so.20
libmysqlclient20: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so.20
libmysqlclient20: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so.20.2.0
libmysqlclient20: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so.20.3.6

Note that you only need libraries for the types of storages you're going to use. So if you plan to build tables only from MySQL, then you might need to install only the MySQL library (in the above case libmysqlclient20).

Finally, install the needed packages:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient20 libodbc1 libpq5 libexpat1

If you aren't going to use the indexer tool at all, you don't need to find and install any libraries.

To enable CJK tokenization support, the official packages contain binaries with embedded ICU library and include ICU data file. They are independent from any ICU runtime library which might be available on your system, and can't be upgraded.
