@inviridi  
You can see the content of the script if you got to [https://try.crate.io/](https://try.crate.io/) in your browser.  
Right now there are checks, that won’t work with OpenSuse.

I consider the tarball-installation pretty quick though as well (as CrateDB now includes the JVM) 😉

1. download crate 4.5.0

```auto
curl https://cdn.crate.io/downloads/releases/cratedb/x64_linux/crate-4.5.0.tar.gz --output crate-4.5.0.tar.gz

```

1. unpack tarball

```auto
tar -xzf crate-4.5.0.tar.gz

```

1. change into crate directory

```auto
cd crate-4.5.0.tar.gz

```

1. start CrateDB

```auto
./bin/crate

```

If you want to try run CrateDB on your Raspberry Pi, be aware, that CrateDB right now only support 64-bit architectures and you need to run a 64-bit distro on your RPi 😉  
64bit ARM tarballs can be found here:  
[https://cdn.crate.io/downloads/releases/cratedb/aarch64\_linux/](https://cdn.crate.io/downloads/releases/cratedb/aarch64_linux/)

We are btw in the progress of rewriting the install instructions and make it more clear / easy to get started 😉
