# Linux build guide Please read the [general build guide](BUILD.md) for information on dependencies required for all platforms. Only Linux specific instructions are found in this file. ## Qt5 Dependencies Should you choose not to install Qt5 via a package manager that handles dependencies for you, you may be missing some Qt5 dependencies. On Ubuntu, for example, the following additional packages are required: libasound2 libxmu-dev libxi-dev freeglut3-dev libasound2-dev libjack0 libjack-dev libxrandr-dev libudev-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev ## Ubuntu 16.04 specific build guide ### Prepare environment hifiqt5.10.1 Install qt: ```bash wget http://debian.highfidelity.com/pool/h/hi/hifiqt5.10.1_5.10.1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i hifiqt5.10.1_5.10.1_amd64.deb ``` Install build dependencies: ```bash sudo apt-get install libasound2 libxmu-dev libxi-dev freeglut3-dev libasound2-dev libjack0 libjack-dev libxrandr-dev libudev-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev ``` To compile interface in a server you must install: ```bash sudo apt -y install libpulse0 libnss3 libnspr4 libfontconfig1 libxcursor1 libxcomposite1 libxtst6 libxslt1.1 ``` Install build tools: ```bash sudo apt install cmake ``` ### Get code and checkout the tag you need Clone this repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/highfidelity/hifi.git ``` To compile a RELEASE version checkout the tag you need getting a list of all tags: ```bash git fetch -a git tags ``` Then checkout last tag with: ```bash git checkout tags/RELEASE-6819 ``` Or go to the highfidelity download page (https://highfidelity.com/download) to get the release version. For example, if there is a BETA 6731 type: ```bash git checkout tags/RELEASE-6731 ``` ### Compiling Create the build directory: ```bash mkdir -p hifi/build cd hifi/build ``` Prepare makefiles: ```bash cmake -DQT_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Qt5.10.1/5.10.1/gcc_64/lib/cmake .. ``` Start compilation and get a cup of coffee: ```bash make domain-server assignment-client interface ``` In a server does not make sense to compile interface ### Running the software Running domain server: ```bash ./domain-server/domain-server ``` Running assignment client: ```bash ./assignment-client/assignment-client -n 6 ``` Running interface: ```bash ./interface/interface ``` Go to localhost in running interface.
