Installing and Running Quarks Database on Ubuntu
Quarks is a lightweight, high-performance database designed for specific workloads. This tutorial will guide you through installing and running Quarks on an Ubuntu system.
Prerequisites
Before installing Quarks, ensure that your system is up to date. Run the following command:
sudo apt-get update -y
Step 1: Install Required Dependencies
Quarks requires several essential dependencies to be installed before proceeding with the build.
sudo apt install cmake
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install ninja-build
These packages include essential build tools like CMake, Ninja, and build-essential.
Step 2: Install Boost 1.69
Quarks depends on Boost libraries, so we need to install Boost 1.69 manually.
Download Boost 1.69
Navigate to /usr/local/src and download the Boost 1.69 source code using wget:
cd /usr/local/src
sudo wget -O boost_1_69_0.tar.gz https://archives.boost.io/release/1.69.0/source/boost_1_69_0.tar.gz
Extract the Archive
Unpack the downloaded archive:
sudo tar -xvzf boost_1_69_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_69_0
Build and Install Boost
Run the following commands to bootstrap and install Boost:
sudo ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local
sudo ./b2 install
This process will compile and install Boost in /usr/local.
Step 3: Install Additional Dependencies
Install other required dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libv8-dev # (Optional: Only needed if using the V8 engine)
sudo apt-get install librocksdb-dev
sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev
These libraries are required for Quarks' functionality.
Step 4: Clone and Build Quarks
Clone the Repository
Retrieve the Quarks source code from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/lucpattyn/quarks.git
cd quarks
Build Quarks
Create a build directory and use CMake with Ninja to compile Quarks:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G Ninja
ninja
Step 5: Run Quarks
Once the build is complete, you can run Quarks using the following command:
./ocv_microservice_crow
This will start the Quarks microservice.
Conclusion
By following this guide, you have successfully installed and run Quarks on your Ubuntu system. If you encounter any issues, ensure that all dependencies are correctly installed and try re-running the build steps.
