In this article, we'll show you how to install Brotli from Github on AlmaLinux 8.
Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling. Brotli is a new compression method with a better compression ratio than Gzip.
Its source code is publicly hosted on Github. In this tutorial we shall install Brotli using source code from Github.
Install Brotli from Github on AlmaLinux 8
1. Keep the server up to date.
# dnf update -y
2. Install build tools and required packages.
# dnf install gcc make bc sed autoconf automake libtool git -y
3. Clone the Brotli repository.
# git clone https://github.com/google/brotli.git
Change current working directory.
# cd brotli
4. Create a manual page for Brotli commands.
# cp ~/brotli/docs/brotli.1 /usr/share/man/man1 && sudo gzip /usr/share/man/man1/brotli.1

For help, run the ./configure --help command.
6. Install Brotli
Run following command to install Brotli.
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --libexecdir=/usr/lib64/brotli --libdir=/usr/lib64/brotli --datarootdir=/usr/share --mandir=/usr/share/man/man1 --docdir=/usr/share/doc
# make
# make install
