Download SingleStoreDB Files
Download the following SingleStore tarball file onto a device with access to the main deployment host.
Transfer SingleStoreDB Files
Transfer the singlestoredb-studio tarball file into a dedicated singlestore directory that has been configured so that non-sudo users can access on the main deployment host, such as /home/<user>/singlestore or /opt/singlestore.
Unpack SingleStoreDB Files
Note: For the remainder of this document, <version>-<commit-hash> will be written simply as <version>.
Unpack singlestoredb-studio into the singlestore directory.
tar xzvf singlestoredb-studio-<version>.tar.gz
Set up SingleStoreDB Studio
Start Studio
Now that you have Studio installed, start the singlestoredb-studio systemd service using the systemctl start command.
sudo systemctl start singlestoredb-studio
Recommended: Enable the Studio service to start Studio at system boot.
sudo systemctl enable singlestoredb-studio.service **** Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/memsql-studio.service → /lib/systemd/system/memsql-studio.service.
If your Linux distribution does not use systemd, you can run Studio directly.
sudo singlestoredb-studio &
Studio will now run the Studio web server on port 8080.
Add a New Cluster to Studio
With Studio running, go to
http://localhost:8080on your local machine and click Add New Cluster to setup a cluster.Important
Studio is only supported on Chrome and Firefox browsers at this time.
To run Studio on a different port, add
port = <port_name>to/etc/singlestore/singlestoredb-studio.hcland restart Studio.Paste the Master Aggregator host machine IP address into Hostname.

Upgrade SingleStoreDB Studio
Important
Studio is designed to work with MemSQL 6.5 or later and is only supported on Chrome and Firefox browsers at this time.
Upgrading Studio can be done through the package manager on the computer, instance, or container where Studio is installed.
Important
Note that upgrading Studio does not automatically upgrade the database engine. To upgrade the database engine, see Upgrade SingleStoreDB.
To upgrade the database engine to version 8.1, see Upgrade to SingleStoreDB 8.1.
To upgrade the singlestoredb-studio package, follow the same basic steps that you would perform to update any RPM package.
Online
sudo yum update singlestoredb-studio
Offline
sudo rpm -Uvh /tmp/singlestoredb-studio-<version>.x86_64.rpm
If you’re running singlestoredb-studio as a systemd service, it will be automatically restarted after you install the new version. However, if you’re running singlestoredb-studio directly, you have to restart the server after installing the new version of the package.
To upgrade the singlestoredb-studio package, follow the same basic steps that you would perform to update any Debian package.
Online
To update the
singlestoredb-studiopackage with APT, update the package lists for packages that need upgrading, as well as new packages that have just come to the repositories.sudo apt update
Update the
singlestoredb-studiopackage.sudo apt install singlestoredb-studio
Offline
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/singlestoredb-studio_<version>_amd64.deb
If you’re running singlestoredb-studio as a systemd service, it will be automatically restarted after you install the new version. However, if you’re running singlestoredb-studio directly, you have to restart the server after installing the new version of the package.
To upgrade the Studio tarball, you need to replace the currently installed Studio binaries with new binaries. Using symbolic links is one way to achieve this action and the instructions are as follows.
Navigate to the directory that contains the unpacked Studio tarball and create a symbolic link pointing to the Studio currently installed. Name this symlink
singlestoredb-studio.ln -s singlestoredb-studio-<version>-<commit-hash> singlestoredb-studio
Run
ls -lto verify that the symlink is created.Obtain the latest version of
singlestoredb-studiousing the following command.curl https://release.memsql.com/production/index/memsqlstudio/latest.json
The JSON you receive contains a relative path to the
memsql-studio-tarfile in the following format."Path": "production/tar/x86_64/singlestoredb-studio-<version>-<commit-hash>.x86_64.tar.gz"
Use
wgetto download the file by copying, pasting, and appending the path (minus the quotes) to https://release.memsql.com/. Example is shown below.wget https://release.memsql.com/production/tar/x86_64/singlestoredb-studio-<version>-<commit-hash>.x86_64.tar.gz
As an alternative to steps 2 and 3, you can download the latest version of Studio tarball file using the following link.
Transfer the tarball file to the main deployment host where the earlier version of Studio is available.
Unpack the Studio file by running the following command.
tar xzvf singlestoredb-studio-<version>-<commit-hash>.tar.gz
Now the directory contains both versions of Studio.
Remove the
singlestoredb-studiosymlink by running the following command.rm singlestoredb-studio
Recreate the symlink by pointing it to the new version of Studio downloaded and unpacked in steps 2 and 4.
ln -s singlestoredb-studio-<version>-<commit-hash>/ singlestoredb-studio
The upgrade is complete. If you encounter any issues and need to downgrade, you can simply point the symlink back to the old version for Studio.
After successful validation, you can remove the old version of Studio by running the following command.
rm -rf singlestoredb-studio-<version>-<commit-hash>
Note
Using symbolic links is optional in the Studio tarball upgrade. To perform the upgrade, you need to replace the old Studio binaries with new binaries with or without symbolic links.
As an alternative to using symbolic links for the upgrade, you can update the PATH environment variable with the path to the folder where the new version of Studio tarball is unpacked, as shown below.
export PATH=<Folder-with-new-binaries>/singlestoredb-studio-<version>-<commit-hash>/:$PATH
Uninstall SingleStoreDB Studio
You can either uninstall Studio as a standalone task or remove it while uninstalling SingleStoreDB. If you want to completely uninstall SingleStoreDB and its related tools packages, first uninstall SingleStoreDB from your nodes by using the sdb-deploy uninstall command. This will remove the singlestoredb-server package for that version of SingleStoreDB (all versions of SingleStoreDB can be uninstalled using the --all-versions flag).
Important
The remove command and -e flag will only remove the binaries in the package and not remove any configuration files.
