Artifactory Linux Package Installation

Install Artifactory on Linux using RPM, Debian, or Linux archive for single-node and HA deployments.

Installing JFrog Artifactory on Linux uses your operating system's package manager (YUM, DNF, or APT) or a self-contained archive to install and configure Artifactory and its dependencies. It works for both single-node and high-availability (HA) deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

This section provides answers to frequently asked questions.

plusFAQs
Q: Do I need to run a preflight check before installing Artifactory?

A: Yes. Before installing, run a preflight check using the diagnosticUtil utility to confirm your VMs meet the minimum resource requirements. You must also confirm your OS is a JFrog-supported OS and configure your network to meet JFrog's network requirements.

Q: What database is recommended for a production Artifactory installation?

A: JFrog highly recommends using PostgreSQL for all products in the JFrog Platform, although Artifactory supports additional databases. Configure the database connection in $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/system.yaml on each Artifactory node. For full setup details, see Database Configuration.

Q: What happens if I start additional HA nodes before applying their licenses?

A: The front-end microservices on those nodes may fail to start with the error [jfrt] [WARN] ... - License is not installed. Apply licenses for all nodes through the first node's UI before starting any additional nodes.

Q: Why must I copy the master.key to all HA nodes before starting them?

A: The first Artifactory node generates the master.key during initialization. All other nodes in the cluster must have this file copied from $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/security/ on the first node to the identical path on each remaining node before starting those nodes, or the cluster will not form correctly.

Q: How do I confirm that Artifactory is running after installation?

A: For RPM and Debian installations, and for a Linux archive installed as a systemd service, run sudo systemctl status artifactory.service to check the service status. For a Linux archive installed as an init.d service, run sudo service artifactory status. For a Linux archive running as a process, run ./artifactoryctl check from $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/app/bin. You can also open your browser and navigate to http://<ARTIFACTORY_NODE_IP>:8082/ to access the Artifactory UI, where you will be guided through the onboarding wizard on first access.
