+## Debian/Ubuntu install
 The following command will install tools and libraries required to build and install the Apache Thrift compiler and C++ libraries on a Debian/Ubuntu Linux based system.

+	sudo apt-get install automake bison flex g++ git libboost1.55-all-dev libevent-dev libssl-dev libtool make pkg-config
 
 Debian 7/Ubuntu 12 users need to manually install a more recent version of automake and (for C++ library and test support) boost:
 
     wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/automake-1.15/automake_1.15-3_all.deb
     sudo dpkg -i automake_1.15-3_all.deb

 ## Optional packages
 
 If you would like to build Apache Thrift libraries for other programming languages you may need to install additional packages. The following languages require the specified additional packages:
 
  * Java
-  * To build Apache Thrift support for Java you will need to install the ant package and Java JDK v1.7 or higher. Type **javac** to see a list of available packages, pick the one you prefer and **apt-get install** it (e.g. openjdk-7-jdk).
