How to build ClickHouse on Linux ================================ Build should work on Linux Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 or newer. With appropriate changes, build should work on any other Linux distribution. Build is not intended to work on Mac OS X. Only x86_64 with SSE 4.2 is supported. Support for AArch64 is experimental. To test for SSE 4.2, do .. code-block:: bash grep -q sse4_2 /proc/cpuinfo && echo "SSE 4.2 supported" || echo "SSE 4.2 not supported" Install Git and CMake --------------------- .. code-block:: bash sudo apt-get install git cmake3 Detect number of threads ------------------------ .. code-block:: bash export THREADS=$(grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo) Install GCC 6 ------------- There are several ways to do it. Install from PPA package ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. code-block:: 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-6 g++-6 Install from sources ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Example: .. code-block:: bash # Download gcc from https://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html wget ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/languages/gcc/releases/gcc-6.2.0/gcc-6.2.0.tar.bz2 tar xf gcc-6.2.0.tar.bz2 cd gcc-6.2.0 ./contrib/download_prerequisites cd .. mkdir gcc-build cd gcc-build ../gcc-6.2.0/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ make -j $THREADS sudo make install hash gcc g++ gcc --version sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc /usr/local/bin/gcc-6 sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/g++ /usr/local/bin/g++-6 sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc /usr/local/bin/cc sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/g++ /usr/local/bin/c++ # /usr/local/bin/ should be in $PATH Use GCC 6 for builds -------------------- .. code-block:: bash export CC=gcc-6 export CXX=g++-6 Install required libraries from packages ---------------------------------------- .. code-block:: bash sudo apt-get install libicu-dev libreadline-dev libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev unixodbc-dev Checkout ClickHouse sources --------------------------- To get latest stable version: .. code-block:: bash git clone -b stable git@github.com:yandex/ClickHouse.git # or: git clone -b stable https://github.com/yandex/ClickHouse.git cd ClickHouse For development, switch to the ``master`` branch. For latest release candidate, switch to the ``testing`` branch. Build ClickHouse ---------------- There are two variants of build. Build release package ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Install prerequisites to build debian packages. .. code-block:: bash sudo apt-get install devscripts dupload fakeroot debhelper Install recent version of clang. Clang is embedded into ClickHouse package and used at runtime. Minimum version is 3.8.0. It is optional. You can build clang from sources: .. code-block:: bash cd .. sudo apt-get install subversion mkdir llvm cd llvm svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/tags/RELEASE_400/final llvm cd llvm/tools svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/tags/RELEASE_400/final clang cd .. cd projects/ svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/compiler-rt/tags/RELEASE_400/final compiler-rt cd ../.. mkdir build cd build/ cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release ../llvm make -j $THREADS sudo make install hash clang Or install it from packages. On Ubuntu 16.04 or newer: .. code-block:: bash sudo apt-get install clang You may also build ClickHouse with clang for development purposes. For production releases, GCC is used. Run release script: .. code-block:: bash rm -f ../clickhouse*.deb ./release You will find built packages in parent directory: .. code-block:: bash ls -l ../clickhouse*.deb Note that usage of debian packages is not required. ClickHouse has no runtime dependencies except libc, so it could work on almost any Linux. Installing just built packages on development server: .. code-block:: bash sudo dpkg -i ../clickhouse*.deb sudo service clickhouse-server start Build to work with code ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. code-block:: bash mkdir build cd build cmake .. make -j $THREADS cd .. To create an executable, run ``make clickhouse``. This will create the ``dbms/src/Server/clickhouse`` executable, which can be used with --client or --server arguments.
