Install on Linux

Requirements

Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 39+, or any modern distro
x86_64 or ARM64 (aarch64)
glibc 2.31+

Option A — .deb package (Debian / Ubuntu)

wget https://github.com/yadu9989/memstrata/releases/latest/download/memstrata-pro_5.2.x_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i memstrata-pro_5.2.x_amd64.deb
memstrata init

Option B — .rpm package (Fedora / RHEL)

wget https://github.com/yadu9989/memstrata/releases/latest/download/memstrata-pro-5.2.x.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -i memstrata-pro-5.2.x.x86_64.rpm
memstrata init

Option C — AppImage (any distro)

wget https://github.com/yadu9989/memstrata/releases/latest/download/MemStrata-5.2.x-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x MemStrata-5.2.x-x86_64.AppImage
./MemStrata-5.2.x-x86_64.AppImage --install   # installs CLI to ~/.local/bin/memstrata
memstrata init

Option D — pipx

pip3 install pipx
pipx install memstrata-pro
memstrata init

Verify the install

memstrata status

Expected output:

MemStrata v5.2.x
MCP server:  stopped (run 'memstrata serve' to start)
Database:    ~/.memstrata/index.db
License:     Pro (60-day trial active)

Auto-start with systemd

memstrata install-service --systemd

This creates ~/.config/systemd/user/memstrata.service and enables it. The harness starts on login.

systemctl --user status memstrata

Uninstall

memstrata uninstall          # removes systemd unit and symlinks
sudo dpkg -r memstrata-pro   # or: sudo rpm -e memstrata-pro
# Optional: remove local data
rm -rf ~/.memstrata/
