Downloading and Building LDV¶

LDV sources are stored in several Git repositories. To download them, you currently need a Git version control system installed at your machine. Git is free software, and you can download it here.

Downloading all sources¶

We recommend using Git of version 1.6.6 or newer. With this version getting sources is easy:

$ git clone --recursive git://forge.ispras.ru/ldv-tools.git

(you''ll download about 900 Mb, and the build will span to up to 5 Gb)

If, upon executing the command, it says that --recursive is not supported, then you''re running an older version of Git. If you don''t want to upgrade, please, refer to downloading sources with older version of Git.

Current stable version is v0.6. To get it, after downloading, please perform:

$ cd ldv-tools && git checkout v0.7 && git submodule update --init --recursive

Downloading sources of subprojects (submodules) is crucial. LDV-tools won''t build without submodules.

Building LDV-tools¶

After you downloaded all the sources, you may examine source:INSTALL file for further instructions.

Note that LDV Tools has a considerable number of prerequisites. A full installation of LDV-tools requires C++, Java and OCaml compilers, Perl and Ruby interpreters and some modules/gems for them, and a web server that runs PHP 5. A full and concise list of prerequisites can be found in the source:INSTALL file.

LDV Tools take one or two hours to build.

LDV Tools in Docker¶

You may try LDV Tools without installation on your machine by deploying it with help of Docker. There are two docker images are available. The first one contains full installation with both console tools and web-interface and the second is intended to run mysql-server to store results. Below you can find link to the archive with docker images and tutorials.
