Development tools

Compiling Castor and its dependencies requires the basic development tools. Most of the times these tools are already present in the system.

On Ubuntu 14.04/16.04

#!bash
sudo apt-get install build-essential git

On Centos 6.9

#!bash
wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/slc6-devtoolset.repo http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/devtoolset/slc6-devtoolset.repo
yum install --nogpgcheck devtoolset-2 -y

Activate the environment either with:

#!bash
scl enable devtoolset-2 'bash'

or with appending the following line to your .bahsrc file:

#!bash
source scl_source enable devtoolset-2

On Mac Os (10.13)

Download and Install XCode

Cmake (all the platforms)

Castor depends on any version of CMake above 3.8.1

cmake 3.10.3 http://cmake.org/

#!bash
wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.10/cmake-3.10.3-Linux-x86_64.sh
chmod +x cmake-3.10.3-Linux-x86_64.sh
sudo ./cmake-3.10.3-Linux-x86_64.sh
export PATH=$PATH:path/to/cmake-3.10.3-Linux-x86_64/bin
