Linux packages install Stardog CLI tools only. To run a Stardog server, use Docker. The CLI tools can be used to connect to and manage remote Stardog servers.

Debian Based Systems

To install Stardog CLI using apt-get run the following commands:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install gnupg
$ curl http://packages.stardog.com/stardog.gpg.pub | sudo apt-key add
$ echo "deb http://packages.stardog.com/deb/ stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y stardog-cli=<version>

This will first add the Stardog gpg key to the system and then fetch and install the Stardog CLI package.

Stardog CLI binaries should now be in the /opt/stardog/bin directory.

RPM Based systems

To install Stardog CLI using yum run the following commands:

$ curl http://packages.stardog.com/stardog.gpg.pub -o stardog.gpg.pub
$ sudo rpm --import stardog.gpg.pub
$ curl http://packages.stardog.com/rpms/stardog.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/stardog.repo
$ sudo yum install -y stardog-cli-<version>

Stardog CLI binaries should now be in the /opt/stardog/bin directory.

Amazon EC2

Certain Amazon EC2 instances do not let you redirect output into /etc/yum.repos.d as specified above. On such instances you can install Stardog CLI like so:

$ sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo http://packages.stardog.com/rpms/stardog.repo
$ sudo yum-config-manager --enable stardog
$ sudo yum install -y stardog-cli-<version>

Stardog CLI binaries should now be in the /opt/stardog/bin directory.

Using the CLI

After installation, add the Stardog bin directory to your PATH:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/stardog/bin

You can now use the stardog and stardog-admin commands to connect to remote Stardog servers:

# Query a remote server
$ stardog query -s http://my-stardog-server:5820 mydb "SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 10"

# Check server status
$ stardog-admin --server http://my-stardog-server:5820 server status
