Prerequisites

1. rkv requires the most recent stable Rust compiler; it can be installed with rustup.

Installing Rust compiler with rustup

1. Install rustup.rs.

2. Clone the source code:

   git clone https://github.com/Incubaid/rkv-rs.git
   cd rkv-rs

3. Make sure you have the right Rust compiler installed. Run

   rustup override set stable
   rustup update stable

Ubuntu

On Ubuntu, you need a few extra libraries to build rkv. Here's an apt command that should install all of them. If something is still found to be missing, please open an issue.

sudo apt-get install pkg-config libssl-dev

Arch Linux

On Arch Linux, you need a few extra libraries to build rkv. Here's a pacman command that should install all of them. If something is still found to be missing, please open an issue.

sudo pacman -S openssl

Fedora

On Fedora, you need a few extra libraries to build rkv. Here's a dnf command that should install all of them. If something is still found to be missing, please open an issue.

sudo dnf install openssl-devel

Building

Once all the prerequisites are installed, compiling rkv should be easy:

cargo build --release

If all goes well, this should place a binary at target/release/rkv.

Note: On linux the resulting binary would be large due to debug symbols, use strip target/release/rkv to remove them.
