Debian
Offical ZFS on Linux DKMS style packages are available from the Debian GNU/Linux repository for the following configurations. The packages previously hosted at archive.zfsonlinux.org will not be updated and are not recommended for new installations.
Debian Releases: Jessie, Stretch, and newer (testing, sid) Architectures: amd64
For Debian Stretch, ZFS packages are included in the contrib repository. Newer ZFS packages are provided by the backports repository.
Add the backports repository:
# echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main contrib" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stretch-backports.list
Update the list of packages:
# apt update
Install the kernel headers and other dependencies:
# apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-headers-amd64 dkms build-essential libelf-dev
Install the zfs packages:
# apt-get install -t stretch-backports zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux
If you want to boot from ZFS (for more information, see Debian Stretch Root on ZFS), you'll need the zfs-initramfs package too:
# apt-get install -t stretch-backports zfs-initramfs
