How to build ClickHouse

Build should work on Mac OS X 10.12. If you're using earlier version, you can try to build ClickHouse using Gentoo Prefix and clang sl in this instruction. With appropriate changes, build should work on any other OS X distribution.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Install cmake, gcc

brew install cmake gcc

Install GCC-compatible version of boost

brew install boost --cc=gcc-6

Checkout ClickHouse sources

git clone git@github.com:yandex/ClickHouse.git
# or: git clone https://github.com/yandex/ClickHouse.git

Disable MongoDB binding

export ENABLE_MONGODB=0

Detect number of threads

export THREADS=$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
