Wanted to try it. Debian package is of poor quality: not even sure if clickhouse local is included in there, I believe so but there is no manpage, no doc at all, and no `clickhouse-server -h`. Went to the official page looking for a tarball to download, found only the `curl|sh` joke. Went to github looking for tagged tarballs, couldn't find any. Looked for INSTALL.md, couldn't find any. Will try harder later, have to weep my tears for now.

> Debian package is of poor quality Can you elaborate more please? I would love if you can say what all can be improved to make debian package up to standards.

  Thank you for your interest. My comment was really about the state of documentation ("there is no manpage, no doc at all, and no `clickhouse-server -h`"). More specifically: % dpkg -S clickhouse-server | grep bin clickhouse-server: /usr/sbin/clickhouse-server % man clickhouse-server No manual entry for clickhouse-server % man clickhouse No manual entry for clickhouse % /usr/sbin/clickhouse-server --help Unknown option specified: help % /usr/sbin/clickhouse-server -h Unknown option specified: h % ls -l /usr/share/doc/clickhouse-server total 60 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 235 Dec 5 2022 changelog.Debian.amd64.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1437 Dec 5 2022 changelog.Debian.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33174 Dec 20 2018 changelog.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15057 Oct 29 2022 copyright

ClickHouse is a single binary. It can be invoked as clickhouse-server, clickhouse-client, and clickhouse-local. The help is available as `clickhouse-local --help`. clickhouse-local also has a shorthand alias, `ch`. This binary is packaged inside .deb, .rpm, and .tgz, and it is also available for direct download. The curl|sh script selects the platform (x86_64, aarch64 x Linux, Mac, FreeBSD) and downloads the appropriate binary.
