## Build instructions for CMake under Ubuntu 14.04 ### Prepare folder Choose an empty folder for the future build, for example **/home/user/TBuild**. It will be named ***BuildPath*** in the rest of this document. ### Obtain your API credentials You will require **api_id** and **api_hash** to access the Telegram API servers. To learn how to obtain them [click here][api_credentials]. ### Install software and required packages You will need GCC 8 installed. To install them and all the required dependencies run sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y && \ sudo apt-get install git libexif-dev liblzma-dev libz-dev libssl-dev \ libgtk2.0-dev libice-dev libsm-dev libicu-dev libdrm-dev dh-autoreconf \ autoconf automake build-essential libxml2-dev libass-dev libfreetype6-dev \ libgpac-dev libsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev libtool libva-dev libvdpau-dev \ libvorbis-dev libxcb1-dev libxcb-image0-dev libxcb-shm0-dev \ libxcb-screensaver0-dev ninja-build libegl1-mesa-dev \ libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libatspi2.0-dev \ libxcb-render-util0-dev libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-xkb-dev libxrender-dev \ libasound-dev libpulse-dev libxcb-sync0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev \ libx11-xcb-dev libffi-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config texi2html bison yasm \ zlib1g-dev xutils-dev python-xcbgen chrpath gperf -y --force-yes && \ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y && \ sudo apt-get update && \ sudo apt-get install gcc-8 g++-8 -y && \ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-8 60 && \ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-8 60 && \ sudo update-alternatives --config gcc && \ sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y You can set the multithreaded make parameter by running MAKE_THREADS_CNT=-j8 ### Clone source code
