sudo yum install rethinkdb
Compile from source on CentOS 7
Get the build dependencies
Install the main dependencies:
sudo yum install openssl-devel libcurl-devel wget tar m4 git-core \
gcc-c++ which make zlib-devel \
protobuf-devel bzip2 patch
Install optional build dependencies
Additional build dependencies are available in the EPEL repository.
sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install protobuf-devel protobuf-static jemalloc-devel
Get the source code
Download and extract the source tarball:
wget https://download.rethinkdb.com/repository/raw/dist/rethinkdb-2.4.4.tgz
tar xf rethinkdb-2.4.4.tgz
Build RethinkDB
Kick off the build process:
cd rethinkdb-2.4.4
./configure --allow-fetch
make
sudo make install
Compile from source on CentOS 6
These instructions have been tested on CentOS 6.5.
These instructions have not been tested for RethinkDB 2.4.2 or later.
Get the build dependencies
The version of GCC included with CentOS 6 is too old to compile RethinkDB. A newer version can be installed using devtoolset:
rpm --import http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5x/x86_64/RPM-GPG-KEYs/RPM-GPG-KEY-cern
sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/slc6-devtoolset.repo http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/devtoolset/slc6-devtoolset.repo
Install the main dependencies:
sudo yum install devtoolset-2 ncurses-devel boost-static openssl-devel \
libcurl-devel wget tar which m4
Install optional build dependencies
CentOS provides neither a protobuf-devel package nor a jemalloc-devel package. Installing these dependencies from the EPEL repositories will allow RethinkDB to build more quickly:
sudo rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install protobuf-devel jemalloc-devel
Get the source code
Download and extract the source tarball:
wget https://download.rethinkdb.com/repository/raw/dist/rethinkdb-2.4.4.tgz
tar xf rethinkdb-2.4.4.tgz
Build RethinkDB
Kick off the build process:
cd rethinkdb-2.4.4
scl enable devtoolset-2 -- ./configure --dynamic jemalloc --allow-fetch
scl enable devtoolset-2 -- make
sudo make install
Next steps: Now that you’ve installed RethinkDB, it’s time to install client drivers for your language.
