Download Jaeger

Jaeger components can be downloaded in two ways:

As executable binaries
As Docker images

Binaries

Jaeger binaries are available for macOS, Linux, and Windows. The table below lists the available binaries:

Latest version	Assets
1.51.0	macOS Linux Windows Source (.zip) Source (.tar.gz)

You can find the binaries for previous versions on the GitHub releases page .

Docker images

The following Docker images are available for the Jaeger project via the jaegertracing organization on Docker Hub and Quay.io :

Image	Description	Since version
all-in-one	Designed for quick local testing. It launches the Jaeger UI, collector, query, and agent, with an in-memory storage component. `$ docker pull jaegertracing/all-in-one:1.51`	0.8
example-hotrod	Sample application “ HotROD ” that demonstrates features of distributed tracing ( blog post ). `$ docker pull jaegertracing/example-hotrod:1.51`	1.6
jaeger-agent	(deprecated) Receives spans from Jaeger clients and forwards to collector. Designed to run as a sidecar or a host agent. jaeger-agent is deprecated and no longer recommended for use, see https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/issues/4739 . `$ docker pull jaegertracing/jaeger-agent:1.51`	0.8
jaeger-collector	Receives spans from agents or directly from clients and saves them in persistent storage. `$ docker pull jaegertracing/jaeger-collector:1.51`	0.8
jaeger-query	Serves Jaeger UI and an API that retrieves traces from storage. `$ docker pull jaegertracing/jaeger-query:1.51`	0.8
jaeger-ingester	An alternative to collector; reads spans from Kafka topic and saves them to storage. `$ docker pull jaegertracing/jaeger-ingester:1.51`	1.7
jaeger-remote-storage	A service that implements the Remote Storage API on top of another supported backend. Can be used to share a single-node storage backend, like `memory`, across multiple Jaeger processes. `$ docker pull jaegertracing/jaeger-remote-storage:1.51`	1.37
spark-dependencies	An Apache Spark job that collects Jaeger spans from storage, analyzes links between services, and stores them for later presentation in the Jaeger UI `$ docker pull jaegertracing/spark-dependencies:latest`	1.3
jaeger-operator	A Kubernetes Operator for packaging, deploying, and managing Jaeger installation. `$ docker pull jaegertracing/jaeger-operator:1.51`	1.6
jaeger-cassandra-schema	A utility script used to initialize Cassandra keyspace and schema. `$ docker pull jaegertracing/jaeger-cassandra-schema:1.51`	0.8
jaeger-es-index-cleaner	A utility script used to purge old indices from Elasticsearch, since ES does not support data TTL. `$ docker pull jaegertracing/jaeger-es-index-cleaner:1.51`	1.3

Artifact Checksums

Along with the binaries published via GitHub Releases we provide the checksum files, *.sha256sum.txt, for each of the target architecture archive. Below is an example of validating darwin-amd64 binaries for release v1.39.0 :

download jaeger-1.39.0-darwin-amd64.sha256sum.txt
download jaeger-1.39.0-darwin-amd64.tar.gz

# expand the archive
$ tar -xz jaeger-1.39.0-darwin-amd64.tar.gz

# find checksum for hotrod example
$ grep hotrod jaeger-1.39.0-darwin-amd64.sha256sum.txt
5088bcd396351edebf9280ee4d5d0f89f4839ecd64a8711e91a22dea6ddb719c *jaeger-1.39.0-darwin-amd64/example-hotrod

# regenerate the checksum from the binary and compare
$ shasum -b -a 256 jaeger-1.39.0-darwin-amd64/example-hotrod
5088bcd396351edebf9280ee4d5d0f89f4839ecd64a8711e91a22dea6ddb719c *jaeger-1.39.0-darwin-amd64/example-hotrod

Signed Artifacts

We also publish cryptographic signatures for each of the artifact archives. The signatures can be verified using the public key below.

Verify signature

From the release page (TODO: provide link and fix versions):

Download jaeger-1.39.4-darwin-amd64.tar.gz
Download jaeger-1.39.4-darwin-amd64.tar.gz.asc

Use gpg --verify {signature-file} file, e.g.:

$ gpg --verify jaeger-1.39.4-darwin-amd64.tar.gz.asc jaeger-1.39.4-darwin-amd64.tar.gz
gpg: Signature made Wed Nov  9 13:34:17 2022 EST
