TDengine community version provides deb and rpm packages for users to choose from, based on their system environment. The deb package supports Debian, Ubuntu and derivative systems. The rpm package supports CentOS, RHEL, SUSE and derivative systems. Furthermore, a tar.gz package is provided for TDengine Enterprise customers.
This document gives more information about installing, uninstalling, and upgrading TDengine.

- We strongly recommend not to use multiple kinds of installation packages on a single host TDengine.
- After deb package is installed, if the installation directory is removed manually, uninstall or reinstall will not work. This issue can be resolved by using the command below which cleans up TDengine package information. You can then reinstall if needed.

- Configuration directory, data directory, and log directory are created automatically if they don't exist
- The default configuration file is located at /etc/taos/taos.cfg, which is a copy of /usr/local/taos/cfg/taos.cfg
- The default data directory is /var/lib/taos, which is a soft link to /usr/local/taos/data
- The default log directory is /var/log/taos, which is a soft link to /usr/local/taos/log
- The executables at /usr/local/taos/bin are linked to /usr/bin
- The DLL files at /usr/local/taos/driver are linked to /usr/lib
- The header files at /usr/local/taos/include are linked to /usr/include

Uninstalling and Modifying Files
- When TDengine is uninstalled, the configuration /etc/taos/taos.cfg, data directory /var/lib/taos, log directory /var/log/taos are kept. They can be deleted manually with caution, because data can't be recovered. Please follow data integrity, security, backup or relevant SOPs before deleting any data.
- When reinstalling TDengine, if the default configuration file /etc/taos/taos.cfg exists, it will be kept and the configuration file in the installation package will be renamed to taos.cfg.orig and stored at /usr/local/taos/cfg to be used as configuration sample. Otherwise the configuration file in the installation package will be installed to /etc/taos/taos.cfg and used.
## Start and Stop
Linux system services `systemd`, `systemctl` or `service` are used to start, stop and restart TDengine. The server process of TDengine is `taosd`, which is started automatically after the Linux system is started. System operators can use `systemd`, `systemctl` or `service` to start, stop or restart TDengine server.
For example, if using `systemctl` , the commands to start, stop, restart and check TDengine server are below:
- Start server：`systemctl start taosd`
- Stop server：`systemctl stop taosd`
- Restart server：`systemctl restart taosd`
- Check server status：`systemctl status taosd`
Another component named as `taosAdapter` is to provide HTTP service for TDengine, it should be started and stopped using `systemctl`.
If the server process is OK, the output of `systemctl status` is like below:
```
Active: active (running)
```
Otherwise, the output is as below:
- When reinstalling TDengine, if the default configuration file /etc/taos/taos.cfg exists, it will be kept and the configuration file in the installation package will be renamed to taos.cfg.orig and stored at /usr/local/taos/cfg to be used as configuration sample. Otherwise the configuration file in the installation package will be installed to /etc/taos/taos.cfg and used.
```
Active: inactive (dead)
```
## Upgrade
There are two aspects in upgrade operation: upgrade installation package and upgrade a running server.
To upgrade a package, follow the steps mentioned previously to first uninstall the old version then install the new version.
Upgrading a running server is much more complex. First please check the version number of the old version and the new version. The version number of TDengine consists of 4 sections, only if the first 3 sections match can the old version be upgraded to the new version. The steps of upgrading a running server are as below:
- Stop inserting data
- Make sure all data is persisted to disk
- Make some simple queries (Such as total rows in stables, tables and so on. Note down the values. Follow best practices and relevant SOPs.)
- Stop the cluster of TDengine
- Uninstall old version and install new version
- Start the cluster of TDengine
- Execute simple queries, such as the ones executed prior to installing the new package, to make sure there is no data loss
- Execute simple queries, such as the ones executed prior to installing the new package, to make sure there is no data loss
- Run some simple data insertion statements to make sure the cluster works well
- Restore business services
:::warning
TDengine doesn't guarantee any lower version is compatible with the data generated by a higher version, so it's never recommended to downgrade the version.

:::info
To prevent system resource from being exhausted by multiple concurrent streams, a random delay is applied on each stream automatically. `maxFirstStreamCompDelay` is the maximum delay time before a continuous query is started the first time. `streamCompDelayRatio` is the ratio for calculating delay time, with the size of the time window as base. `maxStreamCompDelay` is the maximum delay time. The actual delay time is a random time not bigger than `maxStreamCompDelay`. If a continuous query fails, `retryStreamComDelay` is the delay time before retrying it, also not bigger than `maxStreamCompDelay`.
