Downloading Snowflake Clients, Connectors, Drivers, and Libraries¶

To download the installation package for a Snowflake client, connector, driver, or library, use the download pages in the Snowflake Developer Center.

If you want to write a script to download clients over HTTP (e.g. using curl (https://curl.se/)), you can download SnowSQL, the ODBC Driver, the Snowpark Library, and SnowCD directly from the Snowflake Client Repository.

See Drivers and Using Snowflake with Kafka and Spark for documentation for the drivers and connectors, respectively. For other developer documentation, see Develop Apps and Extensions.

Snowflake Developer Center Download Pages¶

To download a Snowflake client, use the following download pages in the Snowflake Developer Center (https://developers.snowflake.com/):

Client / Connector / Driver / Library	Download Page
SnowSQL (CLI client)	SnowSQL Download (https://developers.snowflake.com/snowsql/)
ODBC Driver	ODBC Download (https://developers.snowflake.com/odbc/)
Snowpark API	Snowpark Client Download (https://developers.snowflake.com/snowpark/)
Drivers	Drivers and Libraries (https://developers.snowflake.com/drivers-and-libraries/)
Scala and Java connectors	Drivers and Libraries (https://developers.snowflake.com/drivers-and-libraries/)
SnowCD	Drivers and Libraries (https://developers.snowflake.com/drivers-and-libraries/)
Snowpark ML	Drivers and Libraries (https://developers.snowflake.com/drivers-and-libraries/)

Snowflake Client Repository¶

To download SnowSQL, the ODBC Driver, the Snowpark Library, or SnowCD over HTTP programmatically (e.g. using curl (https://curl.se/)), use the Snowflake Client Repository. The Snowflake Client Repository serves the packages for these clients through CDN (Content Delivery Network) using the following endpoints:

https://sfc-repo.azure.snowflakecomputing.cn/index.html (mirror on Azure Blob)

If the endpoint is not specified explicitly, the client upgrader (e.g., the SnowSQL auto-upgrader) uses the AWS endpoint. For instructions on specifying the endpoint, see the installation documentation for the client.

Note

Users can download Snowflake clients from either endpoint regardless of which cloud provider hosts their Snowflake account.
