{{< note title="Note" >}} AlmaLinux 8 is the recommended Linux development platform for YugabyteDB. {{< /note >}} ## Install necessary packages First, install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/), if you do not already have it. Homebrew is used to install the other required packages. ```sh /usr/bin/ruby -e "$( curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" ``` Install the following packages using Homebrew: ```sh brew install autoconf automake bash ccache cmake coreutils gnu-tar libtool \ ninja pkg-config pstree wget python ``` {{< note title="Note" >}} YugabyteDB build scripts require at least Bash version 4. Make sure that `bash --version` outputs a version of 4 or higher before proceeding. You may need to put `/usr/local/bin` (Intel) or `/opt/homebrew/bin` (Apple Silicon) as the first directory on `PATH` in your `~/.bashrc` to achieve that. {{< /note >}} ### /opt/yb-build {{% readfile "includes/opt-yb-build.md" %}} ### Java {{% readfile "includes/java.md" %}} Install the following packages to satisfy those requirements: ```sh brew install openjdk@11 maven ``` Don't forget to add JDK binaries to `PATH`, ensuring this version takes precedence. For example, ```sh # On apple silicon mac. echo 'export PATH="/opt/local/homebrew/opt/openjdk@11/bin:$PATH"' >>~/.bashrc # On intel mac. echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openjdk@11/bin:$PATH"' >>~/.bashrc ``` ### yugabyted-ui {{% readfile "includes/yugabyted-ui.md" %}} ## Build the code {{% readfile "includes/build-the-code.md" %}} ### Build release package (optional) Perform the following steps to build a release package: 1. [Satisfy requirements for building yugabyted-ui](#yugabyted-ui). 1. Run the `yb_release` script using the following command: ```sh ./yb_release ``` ```output.sh ...... 2020-10-27 13:55:40,856 [yb_release.py:283 INFO] Generated a package at '/Users/me/code/yugabyte-db/build/yugabyte-2.5.1.0-6ab8013159fdca00ced7e6f5d2f98cacac6a536a-release-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz' ```
