### Starting VictoriaMetrics Single from a Binary
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download the correct archive from [github](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases)
|
||||
|
||||
For open source it will look like
|
||||
|
||||
```victoria-metrics-<os>-<architecture>-v<version>.tar.gz```
|
||||
|
||||
For Enterprise it will look like
|
||||
|
||||
`victoria-metrics-<os>-<architecture>-v<version>-enterprise.tar.gz`
|
||||
|
||||
In order for VictoriaMetrics Enterprise to start the, the -license flag must be set equal to a valid VictoriaMetrics key or the -licenseFile flag needs to point to a file containing your VictoriaMetrics license. Please, see more information about license configuration [here](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise/#binary-releases).
|
||||
|
||||
2. Extract the archive to /usr/local/bin by running
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo tar -xvf <victoriametrics-archive> -C /usr/local/bin`
|
||||
|
||||
Replace victoriametrics-archive with the path to the archive you downloaded in step 1
|
||||
|
||||
3. Create a VictoriaMetrics user on the system
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo useradd -s /usr/sbin/nologin victoriametrics`
|
||||
|
||||
4. Create a folder for storing VictoriaMetrics data
|
||||
|
||||
`mkdir -p /var/lib/victoria-metrics && chown -R victoriametrics:victoriametrics /var/lib/victoria-metrics`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5. Create a Linux Service by running the following
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat <<END >/etc/systemd/system/victoriametrics.service
|
||||
[Unit]
|
||||
Description=VictoriaMetrics service
|
||||
After=network.target
|
||||
|
||||
[Service]
|
||||
Type=simple
|
||||
User=victoriametrics
|
||||
Group=victoriametrics
|
||||
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/victoria-metrics-prod -storageDataPath=/var/lib/victoria-metrics -retentionPeriod=90d -selfScrapeInterval=10s
|
||||
SyslogIdentifier=victoriametrics
|
||||
Restart=always
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
ProtectHome=yes
|
||||
NoNewPrivileges=yes
|
||||
|
||||
ProtectSystem=full
|
||||
|
||||
[Install]
|
||||
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
||||
END
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to deploy VictoriaMetrics single as a Windows Service review the [running as a windows service docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/single-server-victoriametrics/#running-as-windows-service)
|
||||
|
||||
6. Adjust the command line flags in the `ExecStart` line to fit your needs.
|
||||
|
||||
The list of command line flags for VictoriaMetrics can be found [here](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/single-server-victoriametrics/#list-of-command-line-flags)
|
||||
|
||||
7. Start and enable the service by running
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable --now victoriametrics.service`
|
||||
|
||||
8. Check the that service started successfully
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo systemctl status victoriametrics.service`
|
||||
|
||||
9. After VictoriaMetrics is Running verify VMUI is working by going to `http://<ip_or_hostname>:8428/vmui`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Starting VictoriaMetrics Cluster from Binaries
|
||||
|
||||
On all nodes you will need to do the following
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download the archive that matches your operating system and processor architecture from [github releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases)

||||
|
||||
`victoria-metrics-<os>-<architecture>-v<version>-cluster.tar.gz`
|
||||
|
||||
For Enterprise versions of VictoriaMetrics the ar will look like
|
||||
|
||||
`victoria-metrics-<os>-<architecture>-v<version>-enterprise-cluster.tar.gz`
|
||||
|
||||
In order for VictoriaMetrics Enterprise to start the, the -license flag must be set equal to a valid VictoriaMetrics key or the -licenseFile flag needs to point to a file containing your VictoriaMetrics license.
