Build Ceph Packages
=====================
To build packages, you must clone the `Ceph`_ repository. You can create
installation packages from the latest code using ``dpkg-buildpackage`` for
Debian/Ubuntu or ``rpmbuild`` for the RPM Package Manager.
.. tip:: When building on a multi-core CPU, use the ``-j`` and the number of
cores * 2. For example, use ``-j4`` for a dual-core processor to accelerate
the build.
Advanced Package Tool (APT)
---------------------------
To create ``.deb`` packages for Debian/Ubuntu, ensure that you have cloned the
`Ceph`_ repository, installed the `build prerequisites`_ and installed
``debhelper``::
sudo apt-get install debhelper
Once you have installed debhelper, you can build the packages:
sudo dpkg-buildpackage
For multi-processor CPUs use the ``-j`` option to accelerate the build.
RPM Package Manager
-------------------
To create ``.rpm`` packages, ensure that you have cloned the `Ceph`_ repository,
installed the `build prerequisites`_ and installed ``rpm-build`` and
``rpmdevtools``::
yum install rpm-build rpmdevtools
Once you have installed the tools, setup an RPM compilation environment::
rpmdev-setuptree
Fetch the source tarball for the RPM compilation environment::
wget -P ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ http://ceph.com/download/ceph-<version>.tar.gz
Or from the EU mirror::
wget -P ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ http://eu.ceph.com/download/ceph-<version>.tar.gz
Build the RPM packages::
rpmbuild -tb ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ceph-<version>.tar.gz
For multi-processor CPUs use the ``-j`` option to accelerate the build.
