Choosing Which Distribution to Install

Zend Server Community Edition is available, in several distribution formats. You can choose from the pre-packaged distribution called Tarball or install using a Package Manager (RPM and DEB). When in doubt, use the Tarball distribution.

The distributions for the following product versions are:

  1. DEB and RPM - Those wanting to use the DEB and RPM should define the Zend Server Community Edition repository (see the DEB and RPM sections for how to define the repository).

  2. Windows - Download the package from zend.com.

Zend Server Community Edition includes the following additional installation options:

  1. Tarball - Download the package from zend.com

  2. DMG - For Mac OSX Download the package from zend.com.
