1. Navigate to our Liquibase Community downloads page.

2. Select the Mac/Linux/Unix option and click the Download Archive .tar.gz or .zip button.

This will begin the download.

3. Double-click the .tar.gz or .zip file to extract the contents after the download completes.

If the Liquibase Installer does not start automatically after downloading, locate the Installer file in your Downloads directory and run it.

Note: If Windows security prevents the Liquibase Installer from running, click Run Anyway. Depending on your version of Windows, you might need to click More info first.

Note: If you downloaded a .zip or .tar.gz archive instead of an installer, extract the contents to a local directory.

To run Liquibase commands from any terminal window, you must add the Liquibase /bin directory to your system PATH. For detailed instructions, Windows users can follow the official Microsoft documentation.

When following this guide, be sure to:

• Use the full path to the /bin directory inside the folder where you extracted. For example: /usr/local/liquibase/bin

• Do not delete any existing values in the PATH. Just add your Liquibase path to the end, separated by a semicolon.

Once added, open a new Command Prompt and run:

If it returns the version number, Liquibase is installed and ready to use.
