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
grep -q sse4_2 /proc/cpuinfo && echo "SSE 4.2 supported" || echo "SSE 4.2 not supported"
Install Git and CMake
sudo apt-get install git cmake3
Or just cmake on newer systems.
Detect number of threads
export THREADS=$(grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo)
Install GCC 6
There are several ways to do it.
Install from PPA package
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:
# 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
export CC=gcc-6
export CXX=g++-6
Install required libraries from packages
sudo apt-get install libicu-dev libreadline-dev libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev unixodbc-dev
Checkout ClickHouse sources
To get latest stable version:
git clone -b stable --recursive git@github.com:yandex/ClickHouse.git
# or: git clone -b stable --recursive 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.
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. Recommended version is 5.0. It is optional.
To install clang, look at utils/prepare-environment/install-clang.sh
You may also build ClickHouse with clang for development purposes. For production releases, GCC is used.
Run release script:
rm -f ../clickhouse*.deb
./release
You will find built packages in parent directory:
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:
sudo dpkg -i ../clickhouse*.deb
sudo service clickhouse-server start
Build to work with code
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.
