# 2.6. AlmaLinux

This section describes how to install Groonga related RPM packages on AlmaLinux OS. You can install them by `dnf`.

We distribute only 64-bit packages.

Note

`groonga` package is the minimum set of fulltext search engine. If you want to use Groonga for server use, you can install additional preconfigured packages.

There are two packages for server use.

- groonga-httpd (nginx and HTTP protocol based server package)

- groonga-server-gqtp (GQTP protocol based server package)

See Server section about details.
