Installation and Upgrades
This section covers installing and upgrading Nexus Repository. Installing and running Nexus Repository is straight-forward. You can either unpack the archive in a directory to which you have full access, or you can install it with a Docker image.
Important
Sonatype Nexus Repository's legacy embedded OrientDB database entered extended maintenance in August 2024. All Sonatype Nexus Repository customers are highly encouraged to migrate off of OrientDB. However, if you are unable to migrate, note that you will need to remain on the 3.70.x version line. Versions 3.71.0 and above do not support OrientDB.
