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

$ 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 cmake ninja-build

Or cmake3 instead of cmake on older systems.

Install GCC 9

There are several ways to do this.

Install from a 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-9 g++-9

Install from Sources

Look at utils/ci/build-gcc-from-sources.sh

Use GCC 9 for Builds

$ export CC=gcc-9
$ export CXX=g++-9

Install Required Libraries from Packages

$ sudo apt-get install libicu-dev libreadline-dev gperf

Checkout ClickHouse Sources

$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:ClickHouse/ClickHouse.git

or

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse.git
$ cd ClickHouse

Build ClickHouse

$ 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.
