Unpack and install the daemon

Each archive ships an installer under install/ that places your signed license.key where the daemon reads it — so it starts read-write. Run the installer for your platform rather than launching the binary by hand.

# Linux (systemd) — installs the service and places your license.key
$ tar -xzf aetherius-<version>-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
$ cd aetherius-<version>-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
$ sudo ./install/vm-install.sh
#   upgrade: drop in a newer tarball, re-run  sudo ./install/vm-install.sh

# Windows — run inside your WSL2 (Ubuntu) shell
$ tar -xzf aetherius-<version>-windows-x64-wsl2.tar.gz
$ cd aetherius-<version>-windows-x64-wsl2
$ sudo ./install/wsl-install.sh      # install (+ license.key)
$ sudo ./install/wsl-upgrade.sh      # update (keeps data + .bak)
$ sudo ./install/wsl-uninstall.sh    # uninstall

# macOS (Apple Silicon) — no systemd; pass the license directly
$ tar -xzf aetherius-<version>-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
$ cd aetherius-<version>-aarch64-apple-darwin
$ ./bin/aetheriusd --license-file ./license.key --data-dir ./aetherius-data

The installer copies your license.key to /etc/aetherius/license.key — the path the daemon reads automatically. Launched by hand without a valid key, the daemon runs read-only (reads work, writes refused). The client-tools archive unpacks the same way and installs with ./aesql-install.sh. /get-started/install →

Prefer to build from source?

Every release builds with cargo build --release. The install guide has the from-source path and the full list of daemon flags.

First query in minutes

The quickstart walks a typed table, a bulk load, a vector index, and logic deployed into the database.
