installation

[Former user]

Thanks for providing metabat. I wonder 1) is my ubuntu 14.04 and 8 GB RAM PC sufficient? 2) can this part of the installation script be shown with an example? && cmake .. [ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install ] && Kind regards, Sigmund

Ubuntu 14.04 is simply too out of date to support metabat’s programming model.

These are the build requirements:

• boost >= 1.59.0 (dev and libs for boost_graph, system, filesystem and serialization)
• python >= 2.7
• cmake >= 3.8.2
• gcc/g++ >= 4.9 or intel >= 18.0.1.163 or llvm >= 8.0

You can look at the Dockerfile for a proven recipe on how to build under ubuntu 18.04.

To support ubuntu-14.04, a minimum, you will have to download, configure, build and install newer versions of cmake, python, gcc/g++ and boost.

You may have better luck with the docker image, but seeing how Ubuntu 14.04 is out of the support cycle for over a year now, you should strongly consider updating it to 18.04 or 20.04.
