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 ``.prm`` 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.newdream.net/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.
