The core TileDB library can be installed easily using the Homebrew package manager for macOS. Install instructions for Homebrew are provided on the package manager’s website.
To install the latest stable version of TileDB:
$ brew update
$ brew install tiledb-inc/stable/tiledb
HDFS and S3 backends are enabled by default. To disable one or more backends, use the --without- switch to disable them:
$ brew install tiledb-inc/stable/tiledb --without-s3
$ brew install tiledb-inc/stable/tiledb --without-hdfs
A full list of build options can be viewed with the info command:
$ brew info tiledb-inc/stable/tiledb
Other helpful brew commands:
# Upgrade to the latest stable version of TileDB
brew upgrade tiledb-inc/stable/tiledb
​
# Uninstall TileDB
brew uninstall tiledb-inc/stable/tiledb
The Homebrew Tap is located at https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/homebrew.
TileDB is available as a pre-built Docker image. For a latest version, run:
$ docker pull tiledb/tiledb
$ docker run -it tiledb/tiledb
For a specific TileDB version, run:
# <version> could be 1.2.0
$ docker pull tiledb/tiledb:<version>
$ docker run -it tiledb/tiledb:<version>
A package for TileDB is available for the Conda package manager. Conda makes it easy to install software into separate distinct environments on Windows, Linux, and macOS
$ conda create -n tiledb
$ conda activate tiledb
$ conda install -c conda-forge tiledb
If you are compiling / linking against the TileDB conda package, you may need to explicitly add the conda path after activating the environment with conda activate tiledb, sinceconda activate sets the CONDA_PREFIX environment variable:
$ export CPATH=$CONDA_PREFIX/include
$ export LIBRARY_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX/lib
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX/lib
Instead of exporting those environment variables, you can pass them as command line flags during compilation:
$ g++ -std=c++17 example.cpp -o example -I$CONDA_PREFIX/include -L$CONDA_PREFIX/lib -ltiledb
You can download pre-built Windows binaries in the .zip file from the latest TileDB release. You can then simply configure your project (if you are using Visual Studio) according to the Windows usage instructions.
TileDB binaries for each release are available on GitHub Releases for the following operating system and architecture combination:
Windows on x64
macOS on x64
macOS on Apple Silicon (arm64)
glibc-based Linux on x64 (with and without AVX2 support)
These binaries are also available on NuGet, for use by the C# API.
