Install Memgraph

Memgraph offers various installation options, but we recommend installing Memgraph using Docker (opens in a new tab) and the memgraph-platform Docker image (although other Docker images are also available) as it includes all the tools you might need to analyze your data, such as command-line interface mgconsole, visual user interface Memgraph Lab and a graph algorithm library MAGE.

With the Docker (opens in a new tab) running in the background, run the following command in the console:

docker run -p 7687:7687 -p 7444:7444 -p 3000:3000 --name memgraph memgraph/memgraph-platform

You can stop the instance with docker stop memgraph and start it with docker start memgraph commands.

You don't want to bother with installation? Done!
Register and run a Memgraph Cloud (opens in a new tab) instance with a 2-week trial period.

Other Docker images and installation options are also available.

Below are minimum and recommended system requirements for installing Memgraph.

The disk is used for storing database durability files - snapshots and write-ahead logs.
