I'm confused about what I should do to install Memgraph on Mac that has M1 processor. Do I need to run the command docker run -it -p 7687:7687 -p 3000:3000 memgraph/memgraph-platform or should I go to https://memgraph.com/download and download Docker image from that page?
Installing Memgraph on Linux, MacOS and Windows can be achieved by using Docker. There is a bit of difference if we talk about MemgraphDB and Memgraph platform.
If we talk about MemgraphDB there is no difference between downloading Memgraph from download website or pulling from Docker hub. If you want to pull an image and build a container from the Docker hub, it is enough to run the docker command:
docker run -p 7687:7687 -p 7444:7444 -v mg_lib:/var/lib/memgraph memgraph/memgraph
This command will pull a MemgraphDB and run the container.
If you use our download page, then you need to load an image first with the following command:
docker load -i /path-to/memgraph-<version>-docker.tar.gz
After loading an image, you can build and run a container via the following command:
docker run -p 7687:7687 -p 7444:7444 -v mg_lib:/var/lib/memgraph memgraph/memgraph
If you want to install Memgraph platform (MemgraphDB, Lab, mgconsole, Mage), then only option is Docker hub, and running the following command:
docker run -it -p 7687:7687 -p 7444:7444 -p 3000:3000 -v mg_lib:/var/lib/memgraph memgraph/memgraph-platform
Previous command will pull the latest image, build the container and run it. You can find a lot more information on MacOS installation docs
In addition, there are Linux native packages for Ubuntu, Debian and Centos 7,8.
