Install¶

If you are running SoftIron Linux or Debian, we recommend you install sibench using the Package install instructions.

If this is not an option, try the Binary install instructions.

Package install¶

Add sibench repository:

echo "deb https://cdn.softiron.com/ceph/sibench buster main" | sudo tee \
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sibench.list > /dev/null

Install sibench:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sibench

Update apt package index and install dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg

Setup the repository:

echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://cdn.softiron.com/ceph/sibench buster main" | sudo tee \
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sibench.list > /dev/null

Install sibench
```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sibench -t buster-backports
```
Note

This step assumes you have buster-backports enabled. Not recommended on environments with Ceph already installed.

Update apt package index and install dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg

Setup the repository:

echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://cdn.softiron.com/ceph/sibench buster main" | sudo tee \
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sibench.list > /dev/null

Install sibench:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sibench
