To compile Tezos, you need an OCaml compiler (version 4.04.2) and all the
|
||||
libraries listed in `src/tezos-deps.opam`.
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to install all dependencies is by first installing
|
||||
[OPAM](https://opam.ocaml.org/), the OCaml package manager.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new switch alias for Tezos. A switch is your own version of the OPAM
|
||||
configuration, including the OCaml compiler, all packages, and package manager
|
||||
configuration related to your project. This is necessary so that the project
|
||||
doesn't conflict with other OCaml projects or other versions of Tezos.

opam switch tezos --alias-of 4.04.2
|
||||
opam update

opam switch "tezos" --alias-of 4.04.2
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
Activate the new switch:
|
||||
Note that if you previously created a switch named `tezos` but with an
|
||||
older OCaml version you need to remove the switch with `opam switch
|
||||
remove "tezos"`.
|
||||
|
||||
When the switch is ready, you need to activate it:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
eval `opam config env`

Install the libraries which Tezos depends on:

make build-deps

Compile the project:
|
||||
While building the dependencies, `opam` is able to handle correctly
|
||||
the OCaml libraries but it is not always able to handle all external C
|
||||
libraries we depend on. On most system, it is able to suggest a call
|
||||
to the system package manager but it currently does not handle version
|
||||
check. In particular, the `libsodium-dev` packages on Ubuntu is too
|
||||
old for building Tezos, we rely on version `1.0.11` at least.
|
||||

At last, compile the project:
