Install Aerospike Database​

It is not necessary to use homogeneous versions or distributions of Linux for all nodes in a cluster, but all nodes must run on supported Linux distributions. In addition, using heterogeneous OS versions might cause troubleshooting to be difficult, because of an increased number of variables to consider.

Install Aerospike Database on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, Rocky Linux, Amazon Linux 2023, Oracle Linux, and other Linux distributions using RPMs (.rpm) and compatible with RHEL el8+.

Amazon Linux 2023, available for Database 6.4 and later, uses its own RPM no longer compatible with RHEL 7+. Support for Amazon Linux 2 and RHEL 7 were removed in Database 7.0.
