Prerequisites

Dependencies

Before building the compiler, you need the following things installed:

g++ 5.1 or later or clang++ 3.5 or later
python 3 or 2.7
GNU make 3.81 or later
cmake 3.4.3 or later
curl
git
ssl which comes in libssl-dev or openssl-devel
pkg-config if you are compiling on Linux and targeting Linux

Additionally, if you want to build rustc with your system's LLVM, you will need llvm-config. See this section for more info.

Hardware

These are not so much requirements as recommendations:

~15GB of free disk space (~25GB or more if doing incremental builds).
>= 8GB RAM
>= 4 cores
Internet access

Beefier machines will lead to much faster builds. If your machine is not very powerful, a common strategy is to only use ./x.py check on your local machine and let the CI build test your changes when you push to a PR branch.

`rustc` and toolchain installation

Follow the installation given in the Rust book to install a working rustc and the necessary C/++ toolchain on your platform.

Platform specific instructions

Windows

Install winget

Run the following in a terminal:

winget install python
winget install cmake

If any of those is installed already, winget will detect it.

Edit your systems PATH variable and add: C:\Program Files\CMake\bin.
