Build Dependencies

This installation document assumes Ubuntu 12.04 or later on x86-64.

Install Git and GCC
$ sudo apt-get install git build-essential
Install YASM

Minio depends on Intel ISAL library for erasure coding, ISAL uses Intel AVX2 processor instructions, to compile these files one needs to install yasm which supports AVX2 instructions. AVX2 support only ended in yasm from version 1.2.0, any version below 1.2.0 will throw a build error as referenced in issue here

$ sudo apt-get install yasm
Install Go 1.3+

Download Go 1.3+ from https://golang.org/dl/ and extract it into ${HOME}/local and setup ${HOME}/mygo as your project workspace folder. For example:

$ wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ mkdir -p ${HOME}/local
$ tar -C ${HOME}/local -xzf go1.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ export PATH=$PATH:${HOME}/local/go/bin
