Installation

Installing Hyperdrive can be done in two ways: via the apt package manager for Debian-based systems, or manually via the CLI (for any Linux or macOS system).

Via the Package Manager (for Debian-based systems with apt)

If your system uses the apt package manager, you can install Hyperdrive by enabling our repository.

Install Docker

Start by installing Docker for your system following the Docker installation instructions.

Next, add your user to the group of Docker administrators:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Finally, exit the terminal session and start a new one (log out and back in or close and re-open SSH) for the new permissions to take effect.

Install Hyperdrive

Update the system packages and install some prerequisites:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl gnupg apt-transport-https ca-certificates

Save the Hyperdrive repository signing key:

sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings && sudo curl -fsSL https://packagecloud.io/nodeset/hyperdrive/gpgkey -o /etc/apt/keyrings/hyperdrive.asc

Add the Hyperdrive repository to your apt list:

sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hyperdrive.list << EOF
deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/hyperdrive.asc] https://packagecloud.io/nodeset/hyperdrive/any/ any main
deb-src [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/hyperdrive.asc] https://packagecloud.io/nodeset/hyperdrive/any/ any main
EOF

Install Hyperdrive via apt:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install hyperdrive

Manual Install (for all systems)

If you can't or don't want to use the apt process, you can install Hyperdrive manually instead.

1. Download the CLI from the latest GitHub release.

Note there are four options: two for Linux and two for Darwin (macOS); both are available for amd64 and arm64. To have parity with the package installer, we recommend saving it to /usr/bin/hyperdrive. For example, on an x64 Linux system, you could do:

sudo wget https://github.com/nodeset-org/hyperdrive/releases/latest/download/hyperdrive-cli-linux-amd64 -O /usr/bin/hyperdrive && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/hyperdrive

Make sure you run chmod +x on it before trying to use it.

1. Install Hyperdrive via the CLI:

hyperdrive service install

This will also handle installing all of the dependencies and permissions for you.
