If you want to build the newest version of Couch with the least amount of pain this is probably your best bet. See the [[https://github.com/iriscouch/build-couchdb|project Readme]] for instructions. - === Advanced: manual building === - - This is a basic outline of the steps required to build CouchDB from source on Ubuntu. Like many things, there are multiple ways to achieve the same task. With that in mind, these steps may or may not be the best method for you (Example #2 below uses a javascript engine that is installed from source, which may be preffered for minimal Ubuntu systems). - - * Install first set of dependencies: `sudo apt-get build-dep couchdb` - * Install second set of dependencies: - * Ubuntu '''up to 9.10''': `sudo apt-get install libmozjs-dev libicu-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libtool` - * Ubuntu '''10.04 and later when building CouchDB-1.1.x or less''': `sudo apt-get install xulrunner-1.9.2-dev libicu-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libtool erlang-eunit` - . Note that in 11.10 and later, xulrunner-1.9.2 includes the development files, so xulrunner-1.9.2-dev does not exist (install xulrunner-1.9.2 instead). - . Then [[#xulrunner.conf|create /etc/ld.so.conf.d/xulrunner.conf]]. - * Ubuntu '''11.04 and later when building CouchDB-1.2 or greater''': `sudo apt-get install libmozjs-dev libicu-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libtool` - * Download CouchDB from http://couchdb.apache.org/downloads.html. - * Untar (decompress) the source file: `tar -zxvf apache-couchdb-*.*.*.tar.gz` - * Change into the expanded directory: `cd apache-couchdb-*.*.*` - * Configure the build: `./configure` - . On Ubuntu '''10.04 and later when building CouchDB-1.1.x or less''': - . `./configure --with-js-include=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-w.x.y.z/include --with-js-lib=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-w.x.y.z/lib` - . or - . `LDFLAGS="$(pkg-config mozilla-js --libs-only-L)" CFLAGS="$(pkg-config mozilla-js --cflags)" ./configure` - . On Ubuntu '''11.04 and later when building CouchDB-1.2 or greater''': No special flags should be necessary to build. Simply run `./configure` - . You may want to specify build options like the installation directory, etc. Please reference the examples below. - * Build or Compile the source: `make` - * Fix any error before moving to the next step. - * Install your newly built CouchDB: `sudo make install` - * Once the installation completes successfully, you will need to make sure that there is a CouchDB user, and that the CouchDB user owns the necessary files and directories. - * Now you can run CouchDB manually by changing into the `bin/` folder of the installation directory, and running: `sudo -u couchdb ./couchdb` - * Once the server is running you can browse to http://localhost:5984/_utils. This should take you to the Futon Web GUI. - * To be thorough, you should run the built in tests to ensure that CouchDB is working properly. To '''run the tests''', click on the [[http://localhost:5984/_utils/couch_tests.html?script/couch_tests.js|Test Suite]] link on the right hand side of the Futon Web GUI, then click on "Run All" to execute all of the built in tests. ''All of tests should run without error on Ubuntu.'' - * Once CouchDB is working properly you can add CouchDB to your startup scripts if desired. - - ''Note: If you installed all the dependencies of CouchDB from the Ubuntu Software Center, but not CouchDB itself, some of the dependencies may think they are not required and the update manager may suggest that they are removed. Should you remove these dependencies, CouchDB may fail to start, perhaps with an error such as:'' - - {{{ - {"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{crypto,start,[]},{erl_eval,do_apply,5},{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}} - }}} - - If this happens simply re-install the dependencies (possibly erlang-nox but it could vary). - - === Example 1 === - Please see below in links for complete instructions on how to install CouchDB. - - {{{ - sudo su - # Install dependencies required to build couchdb from source - apt-get build-dep couchdb - cd /opt - # download the latest release from http://couchdb.apache.org/downloads.html - # wget <url> - tar xvzf apache-couchdb-x.xx.x.tar.gz - cd apache-couchdb-x.xx.x - - # Note: To install couchdb in the default location use --prefix= in the configure statement - # Note: To check what XULRunner version you have installed use xulrunner -v.
