# Installing Software Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
These instructions have been adapted from the Aardwolf documentation, and may not be accurate.
|
||
As such, this notification should be updated once verified for Plume installs.
|
||
|
||
> NOTE: These instructions may help in installing a production version, but are
|
||
intended for developers to be able to build and test their changes. If in doubt,
|
||
seek out documentation from your distribution package or from [the `doc` folder](doc).
|
||
|
||
## Installing Requirements
|
||
|
||
### Installing PostgreSQL
|
||
|
||
In order to run the Plume backend, you will need to have access to a
|
||
[PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) database. There are a few options for doing this, but for
|
||
this guide we’re going to assume you are running the database on your
|
||
development machine.
|
||
|
||
#### Linux/OSX Instructions
|
||
|
||
If you're on an Ubuntu-like machine, you should be able to install
|
||
PostgreSQL like this:
|
||
|
||
$ sudo apt-get update
|
||
$ sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
|
||
|
||
If you see an error like:
|
||
|
||
= note: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpq
|
||
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit statusb
|
||
|
||
Then you may need to install the libpq (PostgreSQL C-library) package as well :
|
||
|
||
$ sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
|
||
|
||
If you're on OSX and using `brew`, do
|
||
|
||
$ brew update
|
||
$ brew install postgres
|
||
|
||
For Gentoo (eselect-postgresql is optional),
|
||
|
||
# emerge --sync
|
||
# emerge -av postgresql eselect-postgresql
|
||
|
||
For Fedora/CentOS/RHEL, do
|
||
|
||
# dnf install postgresql-server postgresql-contrib
|
||
|
||
#### Windows Instructions
|
||
|
||
For Windows, just download the installer [here](https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads#windows) and run it. After installing, make sure to add the <POSTGRES INSTALL PATH>/lib directory to your PATH system variable.
|
||
|
||
### Installing rustup
|
||
|
||
> Note: Rustup managed installations do appear to co-exist with system
|
||
installations on Gentoo, and should work on most other distributions.
|
||
If not, please file an issue with the Rust and Rustup teams or your distribution’s
|
||
managers.
|
||
|
||
Next, you’ll need to have the [Rust](https://rust-lang.org/) toolchain
|
||
installed. The best way to do this is to install
|
||
[rustup](https://rustup.rs), which is a Rust toolchain manager.
|
||
|
||
#### Linux/OSX Instructions
|
||
|
||
Open your terminal and run the following command:
|
||
|
||
$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
|
||
|
||
For those who are (understandably) uncomfortable with piping a shell
|
||
script from the internet directly into `sh`, you can also
|
||
[use an alternate installation method](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustup.rs/#other-installation-methods).
|
||
|
||
#### Windows Instructions
|
||
|
||
If you don't already have them, download and install the [Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools](http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools).
|
||
|
||
Then, download the [rustup installer](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/install.html) and run it. That's it!
|
||
|
||
### Installing Rust Toolchain
|
||
|
||
Once you have `rustup` installed, make sure you have the `nightly` rust
|
||
toolchain installed:
|
||
|
||
$ rustup toolchain install nightly
|
