``` ```
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` eval `opam config env`
``` ```
Install Tezos dependencies: Install the libraries which Tezos depends on:
``` ```
make build-deps 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:
``` ```
make make
