Install ParadeDB

The fastest way to install ParadeDB is by pulling the ParadeDB Docker image and running it locally.

docker run \
  --name paradedb \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=myuser \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mypassword \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=mydatabase \
  -v paradedb_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data/ \
  -p 5432:5432 \
  -d \
  paradedb/paradedb:latest

You may replace myuser, mypassword, and mydatabase with whatever values you want. These will be your database connection credentials.

To connect to ParadeDB, install the psql client and run

docker exec -it paradedb psql -U myuser -d mydatabase -W

To see all the ways in which you can install ParadeDB, please refer to our deployment documentation.
