Debian

This page documents the requirements and special instructions for building Traffic Server on Debian. For more details about the configuration process, plesae refer to the Installation and Configuration page.

NOTE: This was copied from Ubuntu page, we might need to update the packages here!

Debian 9

Generally you use apt-get to get the dependencies for you:
 

 $ sudo apt-get build-dep trafficserver

The packages you will get for apt-get build-dep are:

autoconf automake autotools-dev bison debhelper dh-apparmor flex gettext intltool-debian libbison-dev libcap-dev
libexpat1-dev libfl-dev libpcre3-dev libpcrecpp0 libsigsegv2 libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev libtool m4 po-debconf
tcl-dev tcl8.6-dev zlib1g-dev

Unfortunately hwloc and libunwind are not included in the default dependencies list for 14.04 as of now, you can install them with apt-get:

 $ sudo apt-get install libhwloc-dev libhwloc5 libunwind8 libunwind8-dev

Debian 8

The following packages must be installed:

 sudo apt-get install g++ make pkg-config libssl-dev tcl-dev libexpat1-dev libpcre3-dev libmodule-install-perl

It's also recommended that the following packages are installed, but they are not required (and they come pre-installed on many systems):

 sudo apt-get install libcap-dev libcap2 hwloc libhwloc-dev

To enable WCCP you will need flex and bison. These should be recent enough to work.

 sudo apt-get install bison flex

ATS v8.0 and later

For ATS v8.0.0 and later, a compiler with support for C++17 is required. You can install this using the testing repo on both Debian 8 and 9:

# This is optional, but prevents apt-get upgrade from upgrading everything from testing. We recommend doing this!
$ cat >> /etc/apt/preferences.d/testing
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 50
 
$ sudo cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian testing main
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -t testing install linux-compiler-gcc-7-x86 g++-7

Git

To use Git, you must install the appropriate packages:

 sudo apt-get install git git-core
