System Requirements

There are a few system requirements related to compilation, tooling, and SQL backends that you'll need to be able to contribute to the Fuel indexer.

Ubuntu/Debian

apt update && apt install -y \
    cmake \
    pkg-config \
    git \
    gcc \
    build-essential \
    clang \
    libclang-dev \
    llvm \
    libpq-dev
DependencyRequired For
cmakeManages the build process in an operating system and in a compiler-independent manner
pkg-configLanguage-agnostic helper tool used when compiling applications and libraries
gitVersion control system
gccCompiler tools required to build various Fuel indexer crates
clang/libclang-devCompiler tools required to build various Fuel indexer crates on Unix-like OSes
llvmRequired for building Fuel indexer crate dependencies
libpq-devSet of library function helping facilitate interaction with the PostgreSQL backend

MacOS

brew update && brew install \
