Turso is currently in BETA. It may contain bugs and unexpected behavior. Use caution with production data and ensure you have backups.

​
CLI

The tursodb CLI provides an interactive SQL shell, an MCP server mode, and database management utilities. 
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf \
  https://github.com/tursodatabase/turso/releases/latest/download/turso_cli-installer.sh | sh
Verify the installation: 
tursodb --version

​
Docker

If you prefer Docker, build and run the CLI image from the repository root: 
make docker-cli-build && \
make docker-cli-run

​
Rust

The turso crate provides an async Rust API built on Tokio. It is compatible with the rusqlite interface pattern. Requirements: Rust stable, Tokio runtime 
cargo add turso
cargo add tokio --features full
To enable cloud sync with Turso Cloud, add the sync feature: 
[dependencies]
turso = { version = "0.6.0-pre.5", features = ["sync"] }
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }
See the Rust binding reference for the full API including Builder, Connection, and prepared statements.

​
JavaScript

The @tursodatabase/database package runs in Node.js with full TypeScript support. A WebAssembly build is available for browser environments. Requirements: Node.js; Linux (x86, arm64), macOS, or Windows 
npm install @tursodatabase/database

​
WebAssembly (browser)

For browser environments, install the WebAssembly variant: 
npm install @tursodatabase/database --cpu wasm32
PackageDescription
@tursodatabase/serverlessServerless driver with the same API
@tursodatabase/syncBidirectional sync with Turso Cloud
See the JavaScript binding reference for the full API.

​
Python

The pyturso package provides a DB-API 2.0-compatible interface and asyncio support. Requirements: Python 3.8+; Linux, macOS, or Windows 
uv pip install pyturso
See the Python binding reference for synchronous, asyncio, and sync driver usage.

​
Go

The tursogo driver implements the standard database/sql interface. It uses purego to call Rust functions without CGO. Requirements: Go 1.21+; Linux, macOS, or Windows 
go get turso.tech/database/tursogo
Import the driver with a blank import to register the "turso" driver name: 
import (
    "database/sql"
    _ "turso.tech/database/tursogo"
)

conn, err := sql.Open("turso", "mydb.db")
See the Go binding reference for the sync driver and full API.

​
Java

Turso integrates with Java through a JDBC driver. The Maven Central artifact is tech.turso:turso.
The Java binding has not yet been published to Maven Central. You must build the JAR locally and publish it to your local Maven repository before use.

​
Build and publish locally

cd bindings/java

# Select your platform: macos_x86, macos_arm64, windows, linux_x86
make macos_arm64

# Publish to local Maven repository
make publish_local
Once published locally, add the dependency to your build file: 
dependencies {
    implementation("tech.turso:turso:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
}
See the Java binding reference for JDBC usage details.
