# 2.3. Debian GNU/Linux

This section describes how to install Groonga related deb packages on Debian GNU/Linux. You can install them by `apt`.

We distribute both 32-bit and 64-bit packages but we strongly recommend a 64-bit package for server. You should use a 32-bit package just only for tests or development. You will encounter an out of memory error with a 32-bit package even if you just process medium size data.

## 2.3.1. wheezy

Add the Groonga apt repository.

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/groonga.list:

    deb http://packages.groonga.org/debian/ wheezy main
    deb-src http://packages.groonga.org/debian/ wheezy main

Install:

    % sudo apt-get update
    % sudo apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated groonga-keyring
    % sudo apt-get update
    % sudo apt-get install -y -V groonga

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.
