Many Operating System vendors provide FreeRADIUS packages which are years out of date. Those old packages are missing many bug fixes and new features which are included in the “up to date” release. As a result, systems using the old packages can be exposed to issues which have already been found and fixed in the “upstream” releases.

We recommend using the packages provided below. Using these packages will make your systems more stable, and easier to test.

Our package repositories contain the latest stable versions of FreeRADIUS for all common Linux distributions.

Plase select which version you wish to use:

Alternatively, show all instructions on one page.

If you run into issues, you can always purchase support for all versions of FreeRADIUS.

Rocky Linux

Choose your OS version:

FreeRADIUS 3.2 on Rocky Linux 9

Import the NetworkRADIUS PGP public key:

rpm --import 'https://packages.networkradius.com/pgp/packages%40networkradius.com'

Add the NetworkRADIUS repository:

cat <<'EOF' >/etc/yum.repos.d/networkradius.repo

Some of our packages (such as freeradius-mysql) have dependencies in the Rocky “Code Ready Builder” repository. If in doubt, add this repository using the following command:

yum install yum-utils
yum config-manager --enable crb

Install the FreeRADIUS packages:

yum install freeradius

The following optional packages may also be needed for certain FreeRADIUS utilities or modules (e.g. particular databases).

  • freeradius-krb5 (Kerberos 5 support: rlm_krb5)
  • freeradius-ldap (LDAP support: rlm_ldap)
  • freeradius-redis (Redis database support: rlm_redis)
  • freeradius-rest (HTTP REST support: rlm_rest)
  • freeradius-utils (Many useful utilities such as radtest and radclient)

SQL Database drivers:

  • freeradius-freetds (Microsoft SQL Server support: rlm_sql_freetds)
  • freeradius-mysql (MariaDB / MySQL support: rlm_sql_mysql)
  • freeradius-postgresql (PostgreSQL: rlm_sql_postgresql)

FreeRADIUS 3.2 on Rocky Linux 8

Disable the distribution FreeRADIUS packages:

yum -y module disable freeradius

Note: CentOS and RedHat link their LDAP libraries against NSS. FreeRADIUS uses OpenSSL. NSS and OpenSSL cannot be used in the same application, as they will cause it to crash. FreeRADIUS therefore must use libldap from the LDAP Toolbox Project, which uses OpenSSL.

Import the LDAP Toolbox Project PGP public key:

rpm --import https://ltb-project.org/lib/RPM-GPG-KEY-LTB-project

Add the LDAP Toolbox Project Yum/DNF repository:

    sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/networkradius > /dev/null

Add the APT sources list:

echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.networkradius.com.asc] http://packages.networkradius.com/freeradius-3.0/debian/bookworm bookworm main" | \
    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/networkradius.list > /dev/null

FreeRADIUS 3.0 on Debian 11 “Bullseye”

Add the NetworkRADIUS PGP public key:

install -d -o root -g root -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -s 'https://packages.networkradius.com/pgp/packages%40networkradius.com' | \
    sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.networkradius.com.asc > /dev/null

Add the APT sources list:

echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.networkradius.com.asc] http://packages.networkradius.com/freeradius-3.0/debian/bullseye bullseye main" | \
    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/networkradius.list > /dev/null

FreeRADIUS 3.0 on Debian 10 “Buster”

Add the NetworkRADIUS PGP public key:

install -d -o root -g root -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -s 'https://packages.networkradius.com/pgp/packages%40networkradius.com' | \
    sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.networkradius.com.asc > /dev/null

Add the APT sources list:

    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/networkradius.list > /dev/null

FreeRADIUS 3.0 on Debian 9 “Stretch”

Debian 9 is no longer supported, but older FreeRADIUS packages are still available. We strongly recommend you upgrade your system.

Add the NetworkRADIUS PGP public key:

install -d -o root -g root -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -s 'https://packages.networkradius.com/pgp/packages%40networkradius.com' | \
    sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.networkradius.com.asc > /dev/null

Add the APT sources list:

    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/networkradius.list > /dev/null

Finally, update the APT database and install the packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freeradius

Rocky Linux

Choose your OS version:

FreeRADIUS 3.0 on Rocky Linux 9

Import the NetworkRADIUS PGP public key:

rpm --import 'https://packages.networkradius.com/pgp/packages%40networkradius.com'

Add the NetworkRADIUS repository:

cat <<'EOF' >/etc/yum.repos.d/networkradius.repo

Some of our packages (such as freeradius-mysql) have dependencies in the Rocky “Code Ready Builder” repository. If in doubt, add this repository using the following command:

yum install yum-utils
yum config-manager --enable crb

Install the FreeRADIUS packages:

yum install freeradius

The following optional packages may also be needed for certain FreeRADIUS utilities or modules (e.g. particular databases).

  • freeradius-krb5 (Kerberos 5 support: rlm_krb5)
  • freeradius-ldap (LDAP support: rlm_ldap)
  • freeradius-redis (Redis database support: rlm_redis)
  • freeradius-rest (HTTP REST support: rlm_rest)
  • freeradius-utils (Many useful utilities such as radtest and radclient)

SQL Database drivers:

  • freeradius-freetds (Microsoft SQL Server support: rlm_sql_freetds)
  • freeradius-mysql (MariaDB / MySQL support: rlm_sql_mysql)
  • freeradius-postgresql (PostgreSQL: rlm_sql_postgresql)
  • freeradius-sqlite (SQlite support: rlm_sql_sqlite)
  • freeradius-unixODBC (SQL ODBC support: rlm_sql_unixODBC)

Languages:

  • freeradius-perl (Perl support: rlm_perl)
  • freeradius-perl-util (Perl rlm_sqlippool_tool utility)
  • freeradius-python (Python 3: rlm_python3)

FreeRADIUS 3.0 on Rocky Linux 8

Disable the distribution FreeRADIUS packages:

yum -y module disable freeradius

Note: CentOS and RedHat link their LDAP libraries against NSS. FreeRADIUS uses OpenSSL. NSS and OpenSSL cannot be used in the same application, as they will cause it to crash. FreeRADIUS therefore must use libldap from the LDAP Toolbox Project, which uses OpenSSL.

Import the LDAP Toolbox Project PGP public key:

rpm --import https://ltb-project.org/lib/RPM-GPG-KEY-LTB-project

Add the LDAP Toolbox Project Yum/DNF repository:

Some of our packages (such as freeradius-mysql) have dependencies in the Rocky “PowerTools” repository. If in doubt, add this repository using the following command:

yum install yum-utils

yum install freeradius

The following optional packages may also be needed for certain FreeRADIUS utilities or modules (e.g. particular databases).
