## 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 libboost-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

    wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.60.0/boost_1_60_0.tar.gz                                                                      tar xvf boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
    cd boost_1_60_0
    ./bootstrap.sh
    sudo ./b2 install
