3.2. Installation
If using MySQL or PostgreSQL as your database, you should already have the services available. Bacula will not install them for you.
There are multiple packages containing the different Bacula components. To install Bacula, from a terminal prompt enter:
sudo apt install bacula
By default installing the bacula package will use a MySQL database for the Catalog. If you want to use SQLite or PostgreSQL, for the Catalog, install bacula-director-sqlite3 or bacula-director-pgsql respectively.
During the install process you will be asked to supply credentials for the database administrator and the bacula database owner. The database administrator will need to have the appropriate rights to create a database, see Section 1, “MySQL” [p. 233] for more information.
