ScyllaDB Docs ScyllaDB CPP-Rust Driver Installation

Installation¶

Packages¶

Pre-built packages are available for:

  • Rocky Linux 9,

  • Fedora 41 and 42,

  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS.

RHEL/Rocky¶

To install the dependencies:

sudo dnf -y install libuv openssl

Install the runtime library. Replace <VERSION> with the version+platform string:

sudo dnf install -y scylla-cpp-driver-<VERSION>.rpm

When developing against the driver you’ll also want to install the development package and the debug symbols:

sudo dnf install -y scylla-cpp-driver-devel-<VERSION>.rpm scylla-cpp-driver-debuginfo-<VERSION>.rpm

Ubuntu/Debian¶

Ubuntu’s apt-get will resolve and install the dependencies by itself. Replace <VERSION> with the appropriate version+platform string:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ./scylla-cpp-driver_<VERSION>.deb

When developing against the driver you’ll also want to install the development package and the debug symbols:

sudo apt-get install -y ./scylla-cpp-driver-dev_<VERSION>.deb ./scylla-cpp-driver-dbg_<VERSION>.deb

Building¶

If pre-built packages are not available for your platform or architecture, you will need to build the driver from source. Directions for building and installing the ScyllaDB C/C++ Driver can be found here.
