# Install SQL Server Full-Text Search on Linux

The following steps install SQL Server Full-Text Search (**mssql-server-fts**) on Linux. [SQL Server Full-Text Search](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms142571.aspx) enables you to run full-text queries against character-based data in SQL Server tables. For information about Full-Text Search known issues for this release, see the [Release Notes](sql-server-linux-release-notes.md).

> [!NOTE]
> Before installing SQL Server Full-Text Search, first [install SQL Server](sql-server-linux-setup.md#platforms). This configures the keys and repositories that you use when installing the **mssql-server-fts** package.

Install SQL Server Full-Text Search for your platform:

- [Red Hat Enterprise Linux](#RHEL)
- [Ubuntu](#ubuntu)
- [SUSE Linux Enterprise Server](#SLES)

## <a name="RHEL">Install on RHEL</a>

Use the following commands to install the **mssql-server-fts** on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. 

```bash
sudo yum update
sudo yum install mssql-server-fts
```

If you already have **mssql-server-fts** installed, you can update to the latest version with the following commands:

```bash
sudo yum check-update
sudo yum update mssql-server-fts
```

## <a name="ubuntu">Install on Ubuntu</a>

Use the following commands to install the **mssql-server-fts** on Ubuntu. 

```bash
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install mssql-server-fts
```

If you already have **mssql-server-fts** installed, you can update to the latest version with the following commands:

```bash
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install mssql-server-fts 
```

## <a name="SLES">Install on SLES</a>

Use the following commands to install the **mssql-server-fts** on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. 

```bash
sudo zypper install mssql-server-fts
```

If you already have **mssql-server-fts** installed, you can update to the latest version with the following commands:

```bash
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper update mssql-server-fts
```
## Supported languages

Full-Text Search uses [word breakers](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms142509.aspx) that determine how to identify individual words based on language. You can get a list of registered word breakers by querying the **sys.fulltext_languages** catalog view. Word breakers for the following languages are installed with SQL Server vNext CTP 1.3:

| Language | Language ID |
|---|---|
| Arabic | 1025 |
| Bengali (India) | 1093 |
| British English | 2057 |

## Filters

Full-Text Search also works with text stored in binary files. But in this case, an installed filter is required to process the file. For more information about filters, see [Configure and Manage Filters for Search](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms142499.aspx).

You can see a list of installed filters by calling **sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'filter'**. For SQL Server vNext CTP 1.3, the following filters are installed:
