Install InfluxDB 3 Core
System Requirements
Operating system
InfluxDB 3 Core runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Object storage
A key feature of InfluxDB 3 is its use of object storage to store time series data in Apache Parquet format. You can choose to store these files on your local file system. Performance on your local filesystem will likely be better, but object storage has the advantage of not running out of space and being accessible by other systems over the network. InfluxDB 3 Core natively supports Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage. You can also use many local object storage implementations that provide an S3-compatible API, such as Minio.
