# Linux Package Manager Installation

Note

Package managers should only be used for single-server setups. For production environments, we recommend installing from the tar archive.

## Available Packages

The recommended package to use is `owncloud-files`. It only installs ownCloud, and does not install Apache, a database, or any of the required PHP dependencies.

## Installing ownCloud Community Edition

First, install your own LAMP stack, as doing so allows you to create your own custom LAMP stack without dependency conflicts with the ownCloud package. Then, update package manager’s configuration.

Configurations are available for the following Linux distributions:

- Ubuntu 14.04 & 16.04
- Debian 7 & 8
- RHEL 6 & 7
- CentOS 7.2 & 7.3
- SLES 11SP4 & 12SP2
- openSUSE Leap 42.2 & 42.3

Note

Repositories for Fedora, openSUSE Tumbleweed, and Ubuntu 15.04 have been dropped. If you use Fedora, use the tar archive with your own LAMP stack. openSUSE users can rely on LEAP packages for Tumbleweed.

Once your package manager has been updated, follow the rest of the instructions on the download page to install ownCloud. Once ownCloud’s installed, run the Installation Wizard to complete your installation.

Note

See the System Requirements for the recommended ownCloud setup and supported platforms.

Warning

Do not move the folders provided by these packages after the installation, as this will break updates.

### What is the Correct Version?

Package versions are composed of a major, a minor, and a patch number, such as 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.0.1, and 10.0.2. The second number represents a major release, and the third number represents a minor release.

#### Major Releases

If you want to follow either of the most recent major releases, then substitute `version` with either 9.0 or 10.0.

#### Minor Releases

If you want to follow any of the four most recent patch releases, then substitute `version` with one of 10.0.1, 10.0.2, 10.0.3, or 10.0.4. Following a minor release avoids you accidentally upgrading to the next major release before you’re ready.

#### The Latest Stable Version

Alternatively you can use `stable` for the latest stable version. If you do, you never have to change it as it always tracks the current stable ownCloud version through all major releases.

## Installing ownCloud Enterprise Edition

See Installing & Upgrading ownCloud Enterprise Edition for instructions on installing ownCloud Enterprise edition.

## Downgrading

Downgrading is not supported and risks corrupting your data! If you want to revert to an older ownCloud version, install it from scratch and then restore your data from backup. Before doing this, file a support ticket (if you have paid support) or ask for help in the ownCloud forums to see if your issue can be resolved without downgrading.

## Additional Guides and Notes

See The Installation Wizard for important steps, such as choosing the best database and setting correct directory permissions. See SELinux Configuration for a suggested configuration for SELinux-enabled distributions such as Fedora and CentOS.

If your distribution is not listed, your Linux distribution may maintain its own ownCloud packages or you may prefer to install from source.

### Archlinux

The current stable version is in the official community repository, and more packages are in the Arch User Repository.

### Mageia

The Mageia Wiki has a good page on installing ownCloud from the Mageia software repository.

### Note for MySQL/MariaDB environments

Please refer to MySQL / MariaDB with Binary Logging Enabled on how to correctly configure your environment if you have binary logging enabled.

### Running ownCloud in a sub-directory

If you’re running ownCloud in a sub-directory and want to use CalDAV or CardDAV clients, make sure you have configured the correct service discovery URLs.
