Crystal DBA Installation

The quickest way to get started with Crystal DBA is using its command-line interface (CLI).

pipx install crystaldba

Crystal DBA requires Python 3.10 or later. If you need to install pipx, which is a tool for installing and running applications written in Python, follow the instructions on the pipx GitHub repository. If you prefer to use pip, you can also pip install crystaldba install the Crystal DBA CLI.

For alternative installation methods, see advanced installation in the User Guide.

Crystal DBA also has multiple deployment models. The one described here is the individual deployment model. It is free to use and easy to set up but lacks monitoring, team collaboration, and historical analysis. See the comparison of deployment models in the getting started guide for more information.

Once you have installed Crystal DBA as described here, head to the getting started guide for next steps.
