Dragonfly runs on linux. We advise running it on linux version 5.11 or later but you can also run Dragonfly on older kernels as well.
⚠️ Dragonfly releases are compiled with LTO (link time optimization): Depending on the workload this can notably improve performance. If you want to benchmark Dragonfly or use it in production, you should enable LTO by givingblaze.sh
the-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-flto"
argument.
On Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt install ninja-build libunwind-dev libboost-fiber-dev libssl-dev \
autoconf-archive libtool cmake g++ libzstd-dev bison libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev
On Fedora:
sudo dnf install -y automake boost-devel g++ git cmake libtool ninja-build libzstd-devel \
openssl-devel libunwind-devel autoconf-archive patch bison libxml2-devel libstdc++-static
On openSUSE:
sudo zypper install automake boost-devel gcc-c++ git cmake libtool ninja libzstd-devel \
openssl-devel libunwind-devel autoconf-archive patch bison libxml2-devel \
libboost_context-devel libboost_system-devel
