Installation

This section explains how to install Exasol as a Linux application.

You can install Exasol as an application on Linux hosts running either on hardware or on VM instances on a cloud service such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The system requirements and procedures for installation and administration are essentially the same regardless of which platform the Linux host is running on.

If your system will be hosted on a cloud service, refer to the documentation from the cloud service provider for information about how to configure network and security settings for your Exasol deployment on that platform.
