Hey there, fellow Firebird and Linux enthusiasts!

We totally get the headache of setting up Firebird on Linux—every distro seems to have its own playbook, right? So, we rolled up our sleeves and put together a bunch of super simple, one-step installation scripts for Firebird versions 5.0 down to 2.5, covering all the popular Linux flavors.

We've already tackled CentOS versions 7 through 9, and Ubuntu's 22 and 24.

For example

Example for CentOS7, Firebird 3.0 vanilla

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IBSurgeon/firebirdlinuxinstall/main/centos7/fb_vanilla_centos7-30.sh

sudo chmod +x fb_vanilla_centos7-30.sh

sudo ./fb_vanilla_centos7-30.sh

You can find them all neatly packed in our GitHub repo right here:

And guess what? There's more on the way! If you've got a Linux distro you love and want a script for it, just send email to us: Add script for this Linux
