# Step 2: Install ColumnStore

## Overview

This page details step 2 of a 5-step procedure for deploying Single-Node ColumnStore with Object storage.

This step installs MariaDB Enterprise Server and MariaDB ColumnStore.

Interactive commands are detailed. Alternatively, the described operations can be performed using automation.

## Retrieve Download Token

MariaDB Corporation provides package repositories for CentOS / RHEL (YUM) and Debian / Ubuntu (APT). A download token is required to access the MariaDB Enterprise Repository.

Customer Download Tokens are customer-specific and are available through the MariaDB Customer Portal.

To retrieve the token for your account:

1. Navigate to <https://customers.mariadb.com/downloads/token/>
2. Log in.
3. Copy the Customer Download Token.

Substitute your token for `CUSTOMER_DOWNLOAD_TOKEN` when configuring the package repositories.

## Set Up Repository

1. On each ColumnStore node, install the prerequisites for downloading the software from the Web.\
   Install on CentOS / RHEL (YUM):

```bash
$ sudo yum install curl
```

Install on Debian / Ubuntu (APT):

```bash
$ sudo apt install curl apt-transport-https
```

2. On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, configure package repositories and specify Enterprise Server:

```bash
$ curl -LsSO https://dlm.mariadb.com/enterprise-release-helpers/mariadb_es_repo_setup
```

```bash
$ echo "${checksum}  mariadb_es_repo_setup" \
      
 | sha256sum -c -
```

```bash
$ chmod +x mariadb_es_repo_setup
```

```bash
$ sudo ./mariadb_es_repo_setup --token="CUSTOMER_DOWNLOAD_TOKEN" --apply \
      --skip-maxscale \
      --skip-tools \
      --mariadb-server-version="11.4"
```

*Checksums of the various releases of the `mariadb_es_repo_setup` script can be found in the* [*Versions*](/docs/server/reference/sql-functions/secondary-functions/information-functions/version.md) *section at the bottom of the* [*MariaDB Package Repository Setup and Usage*](/docs/server/server-management/install-and-upgrade-mariadb/mariadb-package-repository-setup-and-usage.md) *page. Substitute `${checksum}` in the example above with the latest checksum.*

## Install Enterprise ColumnStore

Install additional dependencies:

Install on CentOS / RHEL (YUM)

```bash
$ sudo yum install epel-release

$ sudo yum install jemalloc
```

Install of Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 (APT):

```bash
$ sudo apt install libjemalloc2
```

Install on Debian 9 and Ubuntu 18.04 (APT):

```bash
$ sudo apt install libjemalloc1
```

Install MariaDB Enterprise Server and MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore:

Install on CentOS / RHEL (YUM):

```bash
$ sudo yum install MariaDB-server \
   MariaDB-backup \
   MariaDB-shared \
   MariaDB-client \
   MariaDB-columnstore-engine
```

Install on Debian / Ubuntu (APT):

```bash
$ sudo apt install mariadb-server \
   mariadb-backup \
   libmariadb3 \
   mariadb-client \
   mariadb-plugin-columnstore
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mariadb.com/docs/analytics/mariadb-columnstore/management/deployment/install-guide/multinode-s3/step-2-install-enterprise-columnstore.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
