Installation
This article briefly outlines the basic steps necessary to install and run Memgraph.
Memgraph is available to download as a binary in the following formats:
​Debian package​
​RPM package​
We recommend using Docker because it simplifies the installation process and offers a lot of flexibility to new users.
Newer versions of Memgraph are currently not backward compatible with older versions. This is mainly noticeable by being unable to load storage snapshots between different versions.
If you don't want to install Memgraph locally, you can try out Memgraph Cloud for free.
Memgraph cloud is the easiest way to run Memgraph in the cloud. With a fully-managed, cloud-hosted graph database-as-a-service supported by the engineering team behind Memgraph.
