# Quick Start
|
||
|
|
||
|
A short chapter on downloading the Memgraph source, compiling and running.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Obtaining the Source Code
|
||
|
|
||
|
Memgraph uses `git` for source version control. You will need to install `git`
|
||
|
on your machine before you can download the source code.
|
||
|
|
||
|
On Debian systems, you can do it inside a terminal with the following
|
||
|
command:
|
||
|
|
||
|
sudo apt-get install git
|
||
|
|
||
|
On ArchLinux or Gentoo, you probably already know what to do.
|
||
|
|
||
|
After installing `git`, you are now ready to fetch your own copy of Memgraph
|
||
|
source code. Run the following command:
|
||
|
|
||
|
git clone https://phabricator.memgraph.io/diffusion/MG/memgraph.git
|
||
|
|
||
|
The above will create a `memgraph` directory and put all source code there.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Compiling Memgraph
|
||
|
|
||
|
With the source code, you are now ready to compile Memgraph. Well... Not
|
||
|
quite. You'll need to download Memgraph's dependencies first.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In your terminal, position yourself in the obtained memgraph directory.
|
||
|
|
||
|
cd memgraph
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Installing Dependencies
|
||
|
|
||
|
On Debian systems, all of the dependencies should be setup by running the
|
||
|
`init` script:
|
||
|
|
||
|
./init -s
|
||
|
|
||
|
Currently, other systems aren't supported in the `init` script. But you can
|
||
|
issue the needed steps manually. First run the `init` script.
|
||
|
|
||
|
./init
|
||
|
|
||
|
The script will output the required packages, which you should be able to
|
||
|
install via your favorite package manager. For example, `pacman` on ArchLinux.
|
||
|
After installing the packages, issue the following commands:
|
||
|
|
||
|
mkdir -p build
|
||
|
./libs/setups.sh
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Compiling
|
||
|
|
||
|
With all of the dependencies installed, you need to configure the build
|
||
|
system. To do that, execute the following:
|
||
|
|
||
|
cd build
|
||
|
cmake ..
|
||
|
|
||
|
If everything went OK, you can now, finally, compile Memgraph.
|
||
|
|
||
|
make -j$(nproc)
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Running
|
||
|
|
||
|
After the compilation verify that Memgraph works:
|
||
|
|
||
|
./memgraph --version
|
||
|
|
||
|
To make extra sure, run the unit tests:
|
||
|
|
||
|
ctest -R unit -j$(nproc)
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Problems
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you have any trouble running the above commands, contact your nearest
|
||
|
developer who successfully built Memgraph. Ask for help and insist on getting
|
||
|
this document updated with correct steps!
