Download and Install

Source Code

The CKAN source code is available from this public repository in github: https://github.com/ckan/ckan.

Installing CKAN

Before you can use CKAN on your own computer, you need to install it. There are three ways to install CKAN:

  1. Install from an operating system package
  2. Install from source

From package is the quickest and easiest way to install CKAN, but it requires Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit or Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. You should install CKAN from package if:

  • You want to install CKAN on an Ubuntu 14.04 or 12.04, 64-bit server, and
  • You only want to run one CKAN website per server

See Installing CKAN from package.

You should install CKAN from source if:

  • You want to install CKAN on a 32-bit computer, or
  • You want to install CKAN on a different version of Ubuntu, not 14.04 or 12.04, or
  • You want to install CKAN on another operating system (eg. RedHat, CentOS, OS X), or
  • You want to run multiple CKAN websites on the same server, or
  • You want to install CKAN for development

See Installing CKAN from source.

If you’ve already setup a CKAN website and want to upgrade it to a newer version of CKAN, see Upgrading CKAN.
