Installation

Download the trial from nabusql.nabu.work. There is no registration step, no e-mail confirmation and no credit card — you pick your platform and the download starts.

Windows

1. Run NabuSQL-trial-setup.exe.
2. The installer is signed with an EV certificate, so Windows should not show a SmartScreen warning. If it does, the file was not downloaded from the official site — delete it.
3. NabuSQL installs per user and starts from the Start menu.

macOS

1. Open the .dmg and drag NabuSQL into Applications.
2. Launch it from Applications on first run.

Linux

Pick the package that matches your distribution:

# Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives
sudo dpkg -i nabusql_*.deb

# Fedora, RHEL, openSUSE
sudo rpm -i nabusql-*.rpm

The .AppImage needs no installation — make it executable and run it:

chmod +x NabuSQL-*.AppImage
./NabuSQL-*.AppImage

First run

On first launch NabuSQL starts the 40-day trial automatically. Every feature is available during the trial — nothing is held back. See Trial and license.

The window opens empty, because there are no connections yet. Click Connections in the toolbar, or go to Connection → Manage Connections, to create your first one.

Where your data is kept

NabuSQL stores everything in your operating system's application-data directory:

Platform	Location
Windows	%APPDATA%\com.nabusql.app
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/com.nabusql.app
Linux	~/.config/com.nabusql.app

That folder holds your connections, license, scheduled tasks and Knowledge Lab data. A full list is in Settings and file locations.

Updating

Install the new version over the old one. Your connections, license and settings live in the application-data directory and are not touched by the installer.

Uninstalling

Remove the application the usual way for your platform. If you also want to remove your connections and license, delete the application-data directory listed above.
