The Debian Sqitch Apt package tends to lag behind several versions, but provides easy access to Debian and Ubuntu users. For example, to install Sqitch with PostgreSQL and SQLite support:
apt-get install sqitch libdbd-pg-perl postgresql-client libdbd-sqlite3-perl sqlite3
An alternative that gets you the latest version of Sqitch is to just apt-get
the external dependencies, and then build Sqitch itself via cpanminus. To
install Sqitch with [MySQL] support, for example:
apt-get install build-essential cpanminus perl perl-doc mysql libdbd-mysql-perl
cpanm --quiet --notest App::Sqitch
The client and connection libraries for each engine are:
- PostgreSQL, YugabyteDB, and CockroachDB:
libdbd-pg-perl postgresql-client - SQLite:
libdbd-sqlite3-perl sqlite3 - Oracle:
libdbd-oracle-perl - MySQL:
