The Ubuntu installation uses the DEB package. To install, use the dpkg command-line tool using the DEB file that you downloaded. The following example uses sudo which will require root-access to allow installation:
shell> dpkg -i couchbase-server version.deb
Where version is the version number of the
downloaded package.
Once the dpkg command has been executed, the Couchbase server starts automatically, and is configured to automatically start during boot under the 2, 3, 4, and 5 runlevels. Refer to the Ubuntu documentation for more information about installing packages using the Debian package manager.
Once installation has completed, the installation process will display a message similar to that below:
