• tokumx-common contains the Fractal Tree indexing libraries and some documentation.
• tokumx-server contains the mongod database server and the mongos routing server.

For enterprise packages, see the enterprise download page.

   $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 505A7412
   

   You can check that the fingerprint is correct:

   $ sudo apt-key finger 505A7412
   /etc/apt/trusted.gpg

2. Add an entry for the TokuMX package repository for your release (wheezy, precise, quantal, raring, saucy, or trusty).

   $ echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://s3.amazonaws.com/tokumx-debs $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tokumx.list
   

3. Update apt and install TokuMX.

   $ sudo apt-get update
   $ sudo apt-get install tokumx
   

Running the server

If migrating from an existing MongoDB installation, copy any relevant configuration from /etc/mongodb.conf to /etc/tokumx.conf.

To migrate your existing data to TokuMX, start here: Migrating from MongoDB

1. To control the mongod data server, use service:

   $ sudo service tokumx start
   $ sudo service tokumx restart
   $ sudo service tokumx stop
   

2. To enable TokuMX on boot, use chkconfig on Debian:

   $ sudo chkconfig tokumx on
   $ sudo chkconfig tokumx off
   

   or update-rc.d on Ubuntu:

   $ sudo update-rc.d tokumx defaults
   $ sudo update-rc.d tokumx remove
