apt-get update
apt-get install -y krakend-ee

Minimum supported versions are Debian 8, and Ubuntu 16.x.

Generic Linux (tar.gz)

You can also download the tar.gz and decompress it anywhere. Instructions to check the SHA and PGP signature here.

Download latest tar.gz (AMD64)

Download latest tar.gz (ARM64)

Once you have downloaded and uncompressed the binary, you should move the contents to each folder. You will need root permissions or add sudo to some of these commands:

mv usr/bin/krakend /usr/local/bin/krakend
mkdir -p /opt/krakend/
mv plugins /opt/krakend
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/krakend

Now you can type krakend.

To stop KrakenD graceful use any of these two commands:

killall -s SIGTERM krakend
killall -s SIGINT krakend
