#### Networking ports
### Install InfluxDB as a service with systemd
{{% note %}}
The following instructions have been tested on Ubuntu, and should work similarly on other Linux distributions.
{{% /note %}}
1. Download and install the appropriate `.deb` file using a URL from the [InfluxData downloads page](https://portal.influxdata.com/downloads/)
with the following commands:
```sh
wget https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb2_2.x.x_xxx
sudo dpkg -i influxdb2_2.x.x_xxx
```
_Use the exact filename of the download of `.deb` package (for example, `influxdb2_2.0.3_amd64.deb`)._
2. Start the InfluxDB service:
```sh
sudo service influxdb start
```
Installing the InfluxDB package creates a service file at `/lib/systemd/services/influxdb.service`
to start InfluxDB as a background service on startup.
3. Restart your system and verify that the service is running correctly:
```sh
$ sudo service influxdb status
● influxdb.service - InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time series database
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/influxdb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enable>
Active: active (running)
```
### Networking ports
By default, InfluxDB uses TCP port `8086` for client-server communication over
the [InfluxDB HTTP API](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/api/).
