# Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nimbus beacon chain can run on Linux, MacOS, Windows, and Andriod. At the moment, Nimbus has to be built from source.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## External Dependencies
|
||
|
|
- Developer tools (C compiler, Make, Bash, Git)
|
||
|
|
- PCRE
|
||
|
|
Nim is not an external dependency, Nimbus will build its own local copy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Linux
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On common Linux distributions the dependencies can be installed with:
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
# Debian and Ubuntu
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential git libpcre3-dev
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Fedora
|
||
|
|
dnf install @development-tools pcre
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Archlinux, using an AUR manager for pcre-static
|
||
|
|
yourAURmanager -S base-devel pcre-static
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### MacOS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Assuming you use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) to manage packages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
brew install pcre
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Windows
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can install the developer tools by following the instruction in our [Windows dev environment section](./advanced.md#windows-dev-environment).
|
||
|
|
It also provides a downloading script for prebuilt PCRE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Android
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Install the [Termux](https://termux.com) app from FDroid or the Google Play store
|
||
|
|
* Install a [PRoot](https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/PRoot) of your choice following the instructions for your preferred distribution.
|
||
|
|
Note, the Ubuntu PRoot is known to contain all Nimbus prerequisites compiled on Arm64 architecture (common architecture for Android devices).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Assuming Ubuntu PRoot is used*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
apt install build-essential git libpcre3-dev
|
||
|
|
```
