How to build Riak TS (Time Series Database) from Source

Mariano Guerra — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 15:31:45 GMT

To build riak ts we need some basic build tools installed, like compilers and tools.

On ubuntu/debian an derivatives:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf git libncurses5-dev libssl-dev libpam0g-dev

On RHEL, Centos, Oracle Linux and derivatives:

sudo yum update -y
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" -y
sudo yum install openssl-devel ncurses-devel git autoconf pam-devel -y

A quick description of each so you can map to your OS:

build-essential: a group of tools to build stuff (duh!)
autoconf: needed to build basho's erlang OTP version
git: to fetch repos
libcurses and libssl: to have curses and ssl support on erlang
libpam0g-dev: required to compile a riak module (canola)
- not sure about the RHEL equivalent, try pam-devel

Now clone the riak repo:

git clone https://github.com/basho/riak.git
cd riak

Checkout the Riak TS tag:

git checkout riak_ts-1.3.0

Download and install kerl to build the correct erlang OTP version:

mkdir -p ~/bin
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kerl/kerl/master/kerl -O ~/bin/kerl
chmod u+x ~/bin/kerl
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

Build OTP_R16B02_basho10 erlang version (notice that this won't interfere with your local erlang installation, see kerl readme for details):

kerl build git git://github.com/basho/otp.git OTP_R16B02_basho10 R16B02-basho10
mkdir -p ~/soft/erlang-releases/R16B02-basho10
kerl install R16B02-basho10 ~/soft/erlang-releases/R16B02-basho10
. ~/soft/erlang-releases/R16B02-basho10/activate
export PATH=$HOME/soft/erlang-releases/R16B02-basho10/bin:$PATH

Now build Riak TS:

make locked-deps
make rel

And run it:

cd rel/riak
./bin/riak console

today I found out about twisterd and I wanted to give it a try (and reserve my username ;) so I tried and it took a while to get all the dependencies right, to avoid you the pain here is the guide.

take into account the comments in the script.

just a console dump, it should work just by pasting the commands in order:

mkdir twister
cd twister
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libboost-all-dev build-essential git autoconf libtool
git clone https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-core.git
git clone https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-html.git
mkdir ~/.twister
mv twister-html ~/.twister/html
cd twister-core/libtorrent

# NOTE: the following command will fail with an error about boost, ignore
# it and run the following commands

./bootstrap.sh
./configure --enable-logging --enable-debug --enable-dht --with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
make
cd ../src
make -f makefile.unix
./twisterd -daemon -rpcuser=user -rpcpassword=pwd -rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

BTW I'm @mariano :)
