Install Netdata Using Native DEB/RPM Packages

Netdata provides pre-built native packages for most DEB- and RPM-based Linux distributions, following our platform support policy.

Our kickstart.sh installer uses these packages by default on supported platforms.

Add --native-only when running kickstart.sh to force native packages. The script will fail if native packages aren’t available.

note

Until late 2024, Netdata packages were hosted on Package Cloud. All packages are now provided exclusively from our own repositories.
