# How to Build ClickHouse for Development

The following tutorial is based on the Ubuntu Linux system.
With appropriate changes, it should also work on any other Linux distribution.
Only x86_64 with SSE 4.2 is supported. Support for AArch64 is experimental.

To test for SSE 4.2, do

```bash
grep -q sse4_2 /proc/cpuinfo && echo "SSE 4.2 supported" || echo "SSE 4.2 not supported"
```

## Install Git and CMake

```bash
sudo apt-get install git cmake ninja-build
```

Or cmake3 instead of cmake on older systems.

## Install GCC 7

There are several ways to do this.

### Install from a PPA Package

```bash
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-7 g++-7
```

### Install from Sources

Look at [ci/build-gcc-from-sources.sh](https://github.com/yandex/ClickHouse/blob/master/ci/build-gcc-from-sources.sh)

## Use GCC 7 for Builds

```bash
export CC=gcc-7
export CXX=g++-7
```

## Install Required Libraries from Packages

```bash
sudo apt-get install libicu-dev libreadline-dev
```

## Checkout ClickHouse Sources

```bash
git clone --recursive git@github.com:yandex/ClickHouse.git
# or: git clone --recursive https://github.com/yandex/ClickHouse.git

cd ClickHouse
```

For the latest stable version, switch to the `stable` branch.

## Build ClickHouse

```bash
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
ninja
cd ..
```

To create an executable, run `ninja clickhouse`.
This will create the `dbms/programs/clickhouse` executable, which can be used with `client` or `server` arguments.
