# Installing ClickHouse
You have two options for getting up and running with ClickHouse:
2022-10-05 13:49:55 +00:00
2022-12-18 23:45:16 +00:00
- **[ClickHouse Cloud](https://clickhouse.com/cloud/):** The official ClickHouse as a service, - built by, maintained and supported by the creators of ClickHouse
- **[Self-managed ClickHouse](#self-managed-install):** ClickHouse can run on any Linux, FreeBSD, or Mac OS X with x86-64, ARM, or PowerPC64LE CPU architecture
2022-10-05 13:49:55 +00:00
## ClickHouse Cloud
The quickest and easiest way to get up and running with ClickHouse is to create a new service in [ClickHouse Cloud](https://clickhouse.cloud/):
<div class="eighty-percent">
![Create a ClickHouse Cloud service](@site/docs/en/_snippets/images/createservice1.png)
</div>
Once your Cloud service is provisioned, you will be able to [connect to it](/docs/en/integrations/connect-a-client.md) and start [inserting data](/docs/en/integrations/data-ingestion.md).
## Self-Managed Install
2022-12-19 13:22:03 +00:00
1. The simplest way to download ClickHouse locally is to run the following command. If your operating system is supported, an appropriate ClickHouse binary will be downloaded and made runnable:
```bash
curl https://clickhouse.com/ | sh
```
1. Run the `install` command, which defines a collection of useful symlinks along with the files and folders used by ClickHouse - all of which you can see in the output of the install script:
```bash
sudo ./clickhouse install
```
1. At the end of the install script, you are prompted for a password for the `default` user. Feel free to enter a password, or you can optionally leave it blank:
```response
Creating log directory /var/log/clickhouse-server.
Creating data directory /var/lib/clickhouse.
Creating pid directory /var/run/clickhouse-server.
chown -R clickhouse:clickhouse '/var/log/clickhouse-server'
chown -R clickhouse:clickhouse '/var/run/clickhouse-server'
chown clickhouse:clickhouse '/var/lib/clickhouse'
Enter password for default user:
```
You should see the following output:
```response
ClickHouse has been successfully installed.
Start clickhouse-server with:
sudo clickhouse start
Start clickhouse-client with:
clickhouse-client
```
1. Run the following command to start the ClickHouse server:
```bash
sudo clickhouse start
```

### From Tgz Archives {#from-tgz-archives}
2020-01-10 13:48:28 +00:00
2020-01-10 13:58:26 +00:00
It is recommended to use official pre-compiled `tgz` archives for all Linux distributions, where installation of `deb` or `rpm` packages is not possible.
2020-01-10 13:48:28 +00:00
The required version can be downloaded with `curl` or `wget` from repository https://packages.clickhouse.com/tgz/.
After that downloaded archives should be unpacked and installed with installation scripts. Example for the latest stable version:
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` bash
LATEST_VERSION=$(curl -s https://packages.clickhouse.com/tgz/stable/ | \
grep -Eo '[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' | sort -V -r | head -n 1)
export LATEST_VERSION

### From Docker Image {#from-docker-image}
2021-09-19 22:45:18 +00:00
To run ClickHouse inside Docker follow the guide on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/clickhouse/clickhouse-server/). Those images use official `deb` packages inside.
2021-06-15 19:29:11 +00:00
### Single Binary {#from-single-binary}
2021-06-09 23:31:32 +00:00
2021-09-22 00:22:57 +00:00
You can install ClickHouse on Linux using a single portable binary from the latest commit of the `master` branch: [https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/amd64/clickhouse].
2021-06-09 23:31:32 +00:00
2021-06-15 19:29:11 +00:00
``` bash
2021-09-22 00:22:57 +00:00

2021-06-09 23:31:32 +00:00
sudo ./clickhouse install
```
### From Precompiled Binaries for Non-Standard Environments {#from-binaries-non-linux}
For non-Linux operating systems and for ARM CPU architecture, ClickHouse builds are provided as a cross-compiled binary from the latest commit of the `master` branch (with a few hours delay).
2022-03-29 14:26:35 +00:00
- [MacOS x86-64](https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/macos/clickhouse)
```bash
curl -O 'https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/macos/clickhouse' && chmod a+x ./clickhouse
```
- [MacOS ARM (Apple Silicon)](https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/macos-aarch64/clickhouse)
```bash

```
- [Linux ARM](https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/aarch64/clickhouse)
```bash
curl -O 'https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/aarch64/clickhouse' && chmod a+x ./clickhouse
```
2022-03-29 14:26:35 +00:00
2022-09-07 17:18:27 +00:00
Run `sudo ./clickhouse install` to install ClickHouse system-wide (also with needed configuration files, configuring users etc.). Then run `sudo clickhouse start` commands to start the clickhouse-server and `clickhouse-client` to connect to it.
2022-03-29 14:26:35 +00:00
Use the `clickhouse client` to connect to the server, or `clickhouse local` to process local data.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
### From Sources {#from-sources}
2022-10-05 13:49:55 +00:00
To manually compile ClickHouse, follow the instructions for [Linux](/docs/en/development/build.md) or [Mac OS X](/docs/en/development/build-osx.md).
You can compile packages and install them or use programs without installing packages. Also by building manually you can disable SSE 4.2 requirement or build for AArch64 CPUs.
Client: programs/clickhouse-client
Server: programs/clickhouse-server
Youll need to create a data and metadata folders and `chown` them for the desired user. Their paths can be changed in server config (src/programs/server/config.xml), by default they are:
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
2020-12-07 16:23:46 +00:00
/var/lib/clickhouse/data/default/
/var/lib/clickhouse/metadata/default/
2020-03-19 06:53:47 +00:00
On Gentoo, you can just use `emerge clickhouse` to install ClickHouse from sources.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
## Launch {#launch}
To start the server as a daemon, run:
2021-12-28 10:54:37 +00:00
``` bash
$ sudo clickhouse start
```
There are also other ways to run ClickHouse:
2021-12-28 10:54:37 +00:00
``` bash
$ sudo service clickhouse-server start
```
2021-05-27 19:44:11 +00:00
If you do not have `service` command, run as
``` bash
$ sudo /etc/init.d/clickhouse-server start
```
If you have `systemctl` command, run as
``` bash
$ sudo systemctl start clickhouse-server.service
```
See the logs in the `/var/log/clickhouse-server/` directory.
2021-05-27 19:44:11 +00:00
If the server does not start, check the configurations in the file `/etc/clickhouse-server/config.xml`.
You can also manually launch the server from the console:
``` bash
$ clickhouse-server --config-file=/etc/clickhouse-server/config.xml
```
In this case, the log will be printed to the console, which is convenient during development.
2021-05-27 19:44:11 +00:00
If the configuration file is in the current directory, you do not need to specify the `--config-file` parameter. By default, it uses `./config.xml`.
ClickHouse supports access restriction settings. They are located in the `users.xml` file (next to `config.xml`).
By default, access is allowed from anywhere for the `default` user, without a password. See `user/default/networks`.
2022-10-05 13:49:55 +00:00
For more information, see the section [“Configuration Files”](/docs/en/operations/configuration-files.md).
After launching server, you can use the command-line client to connect to it:
``` bash
$ clickhouse-client
```
2020-03-19 06:53:47 +00:00
By default, it connects to `localhost:9000` on behalf of the user `default` without a password. It can also be used to connect to a remote server using `--host` argument.
The terminal must use UTF-8 encoding.
2022-10-05 13:49:55 +00:00
For more information, see the section [“Command-line client”](/docs/en/interfaces/cli.md).
Example:
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
2020-08-06 22:14:31 +00:00
```
$ ./clickhouse-client
ClickHouse client version 0.0.18749.
Connecting to localhost:9000.
Connected to ClickHouse server version 0.0.18749.

2022-10-05 13:49:55 +00:00
To continue experimenting, you can download one of the test data sets or go through [tutorial](/docs/en/tutorial.md).
2022-12-18 23:45:16 +00:00
## Self-Managed Requirements
### CPU Architecture
ClickHouse can run on any Linux, FreeBSD, or Mac OS X with x86-64, ARM, or PowerPC64LE CPU architecture.
2022-12-18 23:45:16 +00:00
Official binaries are available for x86-64 and ARM.
2022-12-18 23:45:16 +00:00
2022-12-19 13:10:20 +00:00
It is also possible to build ClickHouse from source, (see above)[#from-sources] for details.
2022-12-18 23:45:16 +00:00
ClickHouse implements parallel data processing and uses all the hardware resources available. When choosing a processor, take into account that ClickHouse works more efficiently at configurations with a large number of cores but a lower clock rate than at configurations with fewer cores and a higher clock rate. For example, 16 cores with 2600 MHz is preferable to 8 cores with 3600 MHz.
It is recommended to use **Turbo Boost** and **hyper-threading** technologies. It significantly improves performance with a typical workload.
### RAM {#ram}
We recommend using a minimum of 4GB of RAM to perform non-trivial queries. The ClickHouse server can run with a much smaller amount of RAM, but it requires memory for processing queries.
The required volume of RAM depends on:
- The complexity of queries.
- The amount of data that is processed in queries.
To calculate the required volume of RAM, you should estimate the size of temporary data for [GROUP BY](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/select/group-by.md#select-group-by-clause), [DISTINCT](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/select/distinct.md#select-distinct), [JOIN](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/select/join.md#select-join) and other operations you use.
ClickHouse can use external memory for temporary data. See [GROUP BY in External Memory](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/select/group-by.md#select-group-by-in-external-memory) for details.
### Swap File {#swap-file}
Disable the swap file for production environments.
### Storage Subsystem {#storage-subsystem}
You need to have 2GB of free disk space to install ClickHouse.
The volume of storage required for your data should be calculated separately. Assessment should include:
- Estimation of the data volume.
You can take a sample of the data and get the average size of a row from it. Then multiply the value by the number of rows you plan to store.
- The data compression coefficient.
To estimate the data compression coefficient, load a sample of your data into ClickHouse, and compare the actual size of the data with the size of the table stored. For example, clickstream data is usually compressed by 6-10 times.
To calculate the final volume of data to be stored, apply the compression coefficient to the estimated data volume. If you plan to store data in several replicas, then multiply the estimated volume by the number of replicas.
### Network {#network}
If possible, use networks of 10G or higher class.
The network bandwidth is critical for processing distributed queries with a large amount of intermediate data. Besides, network speed affects replication processes.
### Software {#software}
ClickHouse is developed primarily for the Linux family of operating systems. The recommended Linux distribution is Ubuntu. The `tzdata` package should be installed in the system.
