You can install Manticore by adding Manticore's APT repository to your repositories:

apt-key adv --fetch-keys 'https://repo.manticoresearch.com/GPG-KEY-manticore'
wget https://repo.manticoresearch.com/manticore-repo.noarch.deb
dpkg -i manticore-repo.noarch.deb
apt update

and then install Manticore Search with just apt install:

apt install manticore

In case you want to install "Nightly" (development) version:

apt-key adv --fetch-keys 'https://repo.manticoresearch.com/GPG-KEY-manticore'
wget https://repo.manticoresearch.com/manticore-dev-repo.noarch.deb
dpkg -i manticore-dev-repo.noarch.deb
apt update
apt install manticore

You can also download individual .deb files from our site.

Manticore package depends on zlib and ssl libraries, nothing else is strictly required. However if you plan to use indexer to create indexes from external storages you'll need to install appropriate client libraries. To know what exactly libraries indexer requires run it and look at the top of it's 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 list of all the client libraries for different Debian/Ubuntu versions:

Distr MySQL PostgreSQL XMLpipe UnixODBC
Ubuntu Trusy libmysqlclient.so.18 libpq.so.5 libexpat.so.1 libodbc.so.1
Ubuntu Xenial libmysqlclient.so.20 libpq.so.5 libexpat.so.1 libodbc.so.2
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
Debian Jessie libmysqlclient.so.18 libpq.so.5 libexpat.so.1 libodbc.so.2
Debian Stretch libmariadbclient.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

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 index 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 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.

After preparing a configuration file (see Quick start guide), you can start searchd server:

systemctl start manticore

To enable Manticore at boot:

systemctl enable manticore
