← DuckDB overview & all releases
📦 Currently serving: duckdb 1.5.5-1~noble for noble (updated 2026-08-17) — architectures: amd64, arm64. This page is regenerated automatically from the repository metadata, so the version above is exactly what apt install duckdb gives you today.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS “Noble Numbat” is a long-term support release with standard support into 2029. DuckDB is not shipped at its latest version by the official Ubuntu archives, so this repository builds current upstream releases as native .deb packages targeted specifically at noble, with dependencies matching what Ubuntu 24.04 LTS actually ships.

And then it keeps doing it. Every new upstream release is packaged and published here within hours, so DuckDB updates arrive the same way your system updates do — through apt upgrade, unattended-upgrades, or whatever already runs on your machine. No release page to watch, no version to compare, no dpkg -i to remember.

🚀 Install DuckDB on noble

Step 1: Add the deb.griffo.io repository

Run the commands
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt noble main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update
install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt noble main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt update

The sources line above pins the noble suite explicitly, so it keeps working in containers and images where lsb_release is unavailable.

Step 2: Install DuckDB

sudo apt install -y duckdb
apt install -y duckdb

🔄 Updating

Updates arrive through normal system maintenance — new upstream releases are usually packaged within hours:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade duckdb
apt update && apt install --only-upgrade duckdb

# optionally remove the repository as well:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
apt remove duckdb
# optionally remove the repository as well:
rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is this an official DuckDB package?

No — deb.griffo.io is an unofficial repository maintained by Dario Griffo. Packages are built automatically from official upstream DuckDB releases; the packaging is open source at dariogriffo/duckdb-debian.

Why not install DuckDB from the official Ubuntu archive?

Ubuntu's archive freezes package versions when a release ships and afterwards receives mostly security and stability fixes, so fast-moving tools are either absent or several releases behind. This repository tracks upstream releases instead, with builds targeted at each Ubuntu release.

How quickly do new DuckDB releases arrive?

The repository polls upstream releases and publishes new builds automatically, typically within hours of an upstream release. Subscribe to the release feed to follow updates.

Which architectures are supported on noble?

duckdb is currently built for: amd64, arm64.
