github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs@v2.5.2+incompatible/docs/linux-build.md (about) 1 ## Building on Linux 2 3 There are build scripts for recent versions of CentOS- and Debian-flavored 4 Linuxes in `../scripts/{centos,debian}-build`. Both install all prerequisites, 5 then build the client and the man pages in Docker containers for CentOS 7, 6 Debian 8, and Ubuntu 14.04. 7 8 On CentOS 6, the client builds, but not the man pages, because of problems 9 getting the right version of Ruby. 10 11 Earlier versions of CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu have trouble building go, so they 12 are non-starters. 13 14 ## Building a deb 15 16 A debian package can be built by running `dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc` from the 17 root of the repo. It is currently confirmed to work on Debian jessie and 18 wheezy. On wheezy it requires `wheezy-backports` versions of `dh-golang`, 19 `git`, and `golang`. 20 21 ## Building an rpm 22 23 An rpm package can be built by running ```./rpm/build_rpms.bsh```. All 24 dependencies will be downloaded, compiled, and installed for you, provided 25 you have sudo/root permissions. The resulting ./rpm/RPMS/x86_64/git-lfs*.rpm 26 Can be installed using ```yum install``` or distributed. 27 28 - CentOS 7 - build_rpms.bsh will take care of everything. You only need the 29 git-lfs rpm 30 - CentOS 6 - build_rpms.bsh will take care of everything. You will need to 31 distribute both the git-lfs rpms and the git rpms, as CentOS 6 does not 32 have a current enough version available 33 - CentOS 5 - build_rpms.bsh will take care of everything. You only need the 34 git-lfs rpm. When distributing to CentOS 5, they will need git from the epel 35 repo 36 ``` 37 yum install epel-release 38 yum install git 39 ``` 40 41 See ./rpm/INSTALL.md for more detail
