We are still yet to release Debian package for OpenSearch yet. You can track the progress [here](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-build/issues/28) ---

@bbarani Is there anyway we can make it work in ubuntu , until deb pack is ready ? i had created [Does RPM package work on Debian based distributions like Ubuntu?](https://forum.opensearch.org/t/does-rpm-package-work-on-debian-based-distributions-like-ubuntu/9674) for some help . ---

> [@dinesh](#): > > ubuntu Hi @dinesh We currently don’t have official Deb distribution yet. You can still try to convert RPM to Deb distribution using available tools for testing (Ex: [How to Convert RPM to DEB files in Linux - Fedingo](https://fedingo.com/how-to-convert-rpm-to-deb-files-in-linux/)) but we don’t recommend it for production use. ---

ok , sure . I will wait for official deb release and manage with RPM in centOs until then. ---

@bbarani Do we have any ETA now for Debian support? ---

hello @dinesh - it is currently targeted for 2.5.0 and is being tracked here: > > > Coming from #28 > > \------ > > \# OpenSearch DEB Distribution Design Document > > H…ey everyone, > > I want to explain all details for the workflow of providing the \*DEB packages\* for the future releases on OpenSearch/Dashboards. > > In parts, this topic has already been dealt with in Issue \[Design OpenSearch/Dashboards DEB/RPM Distribution Design Document · Issue #1452 · opensearch-project/opensearch-build · GitHub\](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-build/issues/1452). > > Please feel free to comment and raising questions about it. > > To be transparent, I am currently working for the company Graylog, who would like to provide a \*DEB packages\* to their customers as well. > > \## Introduction > > As 2022/08, OpenSearch project published \*Tarball\*, \*Docker Images\*, \*RPM packages\* and \*YUM packages\* as part of the release artifacts.
