How to install Rethinkdb in Ubuntu?

  • 772

I have installed Rethinkdb for a project I am doing with Node.js following the steps of the Rethinkdb website.

But after executing rethinkdb in terminal inside the folder /rethinkdb-2.3.6, it returns: 

rethinkdb: order not found

As I say, I followed the steps of the web, on another occasion I worked, but in this one in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS I did not get installed.

Is there any other documentation that I can follow for the correct installation?

Forgive the syntax, I must use the translator. Thank you.

EDIT:

When I try sudo apt-get install rethinkdb, it returns: 

package not found

I saw something about "brew" to install rethinkdb on Mac, I do not know if it can be an alternative for Ubuntu.

    I managed to install Rethinkdb on Ubuntu 18.04 with the help of a project collaborator and locate on GitHub, which I think is necessary for Obionic and can install with dpkg -i, and then following the steps that are normally followed for the compilation, which are described in the official Rethinkdb website: https://rethinkdb.com/docs/install/ubuntu/ I leave the link of the site where I get the .deb file https://github.com/srh/rethinkdb/releases/tag/v2.3.6.srh.1   Thanks for the help given by all, which made me keep looking for a way to solve the problem, and it took me to GitHub, which was where I found a solution. Thank you

  2. As I checked, the rethinkdb not have package for Bionic release (18.04). In this situation you should build the package yourself as is described on the official documentation web page: https://rethinkdb.com/docs/build/
