Compiling ArangoDB from scratch

@NAVIGATE_Compiling @EMBEDTOC{CompilingTOC}

Compiling ArangoDB

The following sections describe how to compile and build the ArangoDB from scratch. The ArangoDB will compile on most Linux and Mac OS X systems. It assumes that you use the GNU C++ compiler to compile the source. The ArangoDB has been tested with the GNU C++ compiler, but should compile with any Posix compliant compiler. Please let us know, whether you successfully compiled it with another C++ compiler.

There are possibilities:

  • all-in-one: this version contains the source code of the ArangoDB, all generated files from the autotools, FLEX, and BISON as well as a version of V8, libev, and ICU.

  • devel: this version contains the development version of the ArangoDB. Use this branch, if you want to make changes to ArangoDB source.

The devel version requires a complete development environment, while the all-in-one version allows you to compile the ArangoDB without installing all the prerequisites. The disadvantage is that it takes longer to compile and you cannot make changes to the flex or bison files.

Amazon Micro Instance

@@sohgoh has reported that it is very easy to install ArangoDB on an Amazon Micro Instance:

amazon> sudo yum install readline-devel
amazon> ./configure
amazon> make
amazon> make install

For detailed instructions the following section.

All-In-One Version

Note: there are separate instructions for the devel version in the next section.

Basic System Requirements

Verify that your system contains:

  • the GNU C++ compiler "g++" and standard C++ libraries
  • the GNU make

In addition you will need the following library:

  • the GNU readline library
  • the OpenSSL library

Under Mac OS X you also need to install:

  • Xcode
  • scons

Download the Source

Download the latest source using GIT:

git clone git://github.com/triAGENS/ArangoDB.git

Note: if you only plan to compile ArangoDB locally and do not want to modify or push any changes, you can speed up cloning substantially by using the --single-branch and --depth parameters for the clone command as follws:

git clone --single-branch --depth 1 git://github.com/triAGENS/ArangoDB.git

Configure

Switch into the ArangoDB directory

cd ArangoDB

In order to configure the build environment execute

./configure --enable-all-in-one-v8 --enable-all-in-one-libev --enable-all-in-one-icu

to setup the makefiles. This will check the various system characteristics and installed libraries.

Compile

Compile the program by executing

make

This will compile the ArangoDB and create a binary of the server in

./bin/arangod

Test

Create an empty directory

unix> mkdir /tmp/database-dir

Check the binary by starting it using the command line.

unix> ./bin/arangod -c etc/relative/arangod.conf --server.endpoint tcp://127.0.0.1:12345 --server.disable-authentication true /tmp/database-dir

This will start up the ArangoDB and listen for HTTP requests on port 12345 bound to IP address 127.0.0.1. You should see the startup messages similar to the following:

2013-10-14T12:47:29Z [29266] INFO ArangoDB xxx ... 2013-10-14T12:47:29Z [29266] INFO using endpoint 'tcp://127.0.0.1.12345' for non-encrypted requests 2013-10-14T12:47:30Z [29266] INFO Authentication is turned off 2013-10-14T12:47:30Z [29266] INFO ArangoDB (version xxx) is ready for business. Have fun!

If it fails with a message about the database directory, please make sure the database directory you specified exists and can be written into.

Use your favorite browser to access the URL

http://127.0.0.1:12345/version

This should produce a JSON object like

{"server" : "arango", "version" : "1.x.y"}

as result.

Install

Install everything by executing

make install

You must be root to do this or at least have write permission to the corresponding directories.

The server will by default be installed in

/usr/local/sbin/arangod

The configuration file will be installed in

/usr/local/etc/arangodb/arangod.conf

The database will be installed in

/usr/local/var/lib/arangodb

The ArangoShell will be installed in

/usr/local/bin/arangosh

When upgrading from a previous version of ArangoDB, please make sure you inspect ArangoDB's log file after an upgrade. It may also be necessary to start ArangoDB with the --upgrade parameter once to perform required upgrade or initialisation tasks.

Devel Version

Basic System Requirements

Verify that your system contains

  • the GNU C++ compiler "g++" and standard C++ libraries
  • the GNU autotools (autoconf, automake)
  • the GNU make
  • the GNU scanner generator FLEX, at least version 2.3.35
  • the GNU parser generator BISON, at least version 2.4
  • Python, version 2 or 3

In addition you will need the following libraries

  • libev in version 3 or 4
  • Google's V8 engine
  • the ICU library
  • the GNU readline library
  • the OpenSSL library
  • the Boost test framework library (boost_unit_test_framework)

To compile Google V8 yourself, you will also need Python 2 and SCons.

Some distributions, for example Centos 5, provide only very out-dated versions of FLEX, BISON, and the V8 engine. In that case you need to compile newer versions of the programs and/or libraries.

Install or download the prerequisites

if necessary. Most linux systems already supply RPM or DEP for these packages. Please note that you have to install the development packages.

Download the Source

Download the latest source using GIT:

git clone git://github.com/triAGENS/ArangoDB.git

Setup

Switch into the ArangoDB directory

cd ArangoDB

The source tarball contains a pre-generated "configure" script. You can regenerate this script by using the GNU auto tools. In order to do so, execute

make setup

This will call aclocal, autoheader, automake, and autoconf in the correct order.

Configure

In order to configure the build environment please execute

unix> ./configure --enable-all-in-one-v8 --enable-all-in-one-libev --enable-all-in-one-icu

to setup the makefiles. This will check for the various system characteristics and installed libraries.

Please note that it may be required to set the --host and --target variables when running the configure command. For example, if you compile on MacOS, you should add the following options to the configure command:

--host=x86_64-apple-darwin --target=x86_64-apple-darwin

The host and target values for other architectures vary.

Now continue with @ref CompilingAIOCompile.

If you also plan to make changes to the source code of ArangoDB, add the following option to the configure command: --enable-maintainer-mode. Using this option, you can make changes to the lexer and parser files and some other source files that will generate other files. Enabling this option will add extra dependencies to BISON, FLEX, and PYTHON. These external tools then need to be available in the correct versions on your system.

The following configuration options exist:

--enable-relative will make relative paths be used in the compiled binaries and scripts. It allows to run ArangoDB from the compile directory directly, without the need for a make install command and specifying much configuration parameters. When used, you can start ArangoDB using this command:

bin/arangod /tmp/database-dir

ArangoDB will then automatically use the configuration from file etc/relative/arangod.conf.

--enable-all-in-one-libev tells the build system to use the bundled version of LIBEV instead of using the system version.

--disable-all-in-one-libev tells the build system to use the installed system version of LIBEV instead of compiling the supplied version from the 3rdParty directory in the make run.

--enable-all-in-one-v8 tells the build system to use the bundled version of V8 instead of using the system version.

--disable-all-in-one-v8 tells the build system to use the installed system version of V8 instead of compiling the supplied version from the 3rdParty directory in the make run.

--enable-all-in-one-icu tells the build system to use the bundled version of ICU instead of using the system version.

--disable-all-in-one-icu tells the build system to use the installed system version of ICU instead of compiling the supplied version from the 3rdParty directory in the make run.

--enable-maintainer-mode tells the build system to use BISON and FLEX to regenerate the parser and scanner files. If disabled, the supplied files will be used so you cannot make changes to the parser and scanner files. You need at least BISON 2.4.1 and FLEX 2.5.35. This option also allows you to make changes to the error messages file, which is converted to js and C header files using Python. You will need Python 2 or 3 for this. Furthermore, this option enables additional test cases to be executed in a make unittests run. You also need to install the Boost test framework for this.
