Install Liquibase with Red Hat or CentOS

Last updated: September 2, 2025

Before you begin

Confirm that Java is installed. If you use the Liquibase Installer, Java is included automatically.

Critical change: If you are an existing Liquibase Secure user, the brew install liquibase formula may still exist from versions before Liquibase 4.33, but the command will not install Liquibase 5.x +. To access the Liquibase Secure features, you must use brew install --cask liquibase-secure to maintain enterprise functionality when upgrading to 5.x.

Procedure

1

Open a terminal.

2

Import the Liquibase public key (as root).

rpm --import https://repo.liquibase.com/liquibase.asc
3

Install yum-config-manager.

yum install -y yum-utils
4

Add the remote repo to yum (as root).

yum-config-manager --add-repo https://package.liquibase.com/repo-liquibase-com.repo
5

Install Liquibase.

yum install liquibase-secure

Liquibase is now installed on your system.

Note: To install a specific version of Liquibase using the Red Hat/CentOS package manager, specify the version number like this:

yum install liquibase-x.y.z

Replace x.y.z with the version you want to install. This will install that specific version on your system.

6

Apply your Liquibase Secure license key.

Using a Secrets Management tool like Hashicorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager is best to keep Liquibase license keys secure.

There are several ways to apply the Liquibase Secure license key:

Include the Liquibase Secure license key in the Liquibase properties file and save it.

For example:

liquibase.licenseKey: aei76ou32thp785463214

Alternative to YUM/DNF - Direct RPM download

If you prefer not to configure a YUM repository, you can download the RPM package directly from Liquibase and install it manually.

OSS Package

# Replace 5.0.0 with the version you wantcurl -LO https://package.liquibase.com/downloads/oss/rpm/liquibase-5.0.0.rpmsudo rpm -ivh liquibase-5.0.0.rpm

Secure Package

# Replace 5.0.0 with the version you wantcurl -LO https://package.liquibase.com/downloads/secure/rpm/liquibase-secure-5.0.0.rpmsudo rpm -ivh liquibase-secure-5.0.0.rpm

Notes

  • curl -LO saves the file with the correct filename.

  • Use rpm -Uvh instead of -ivh if you are upgrading an existing installation.

  • Direct RPM download is useful for air-gapped installs or if you don’t want to set up the YUM repo.
