| ## 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 |
| |
| 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 |
| |
| ## 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). |
| * Ruby |
