Installing from binaries

Centreon Clib is a low-level component of the Centreon software suite. If this is your first installation you would probably want to install it entirely.

Centreon (the company behind the Centreon software suite) provides binary packages for RedHat / CentOS. They are available either as part of the Centreon Platform or as individual packages on our RPM repository.

Once the repository installed a simple command will be needed to install Centreon Clib.

yum install centreon-clib

Fetching sources

Beware that the repository hosts in-development sources and that it might not work at all.

Stable releases are available as gziped tarballs on Centreon's download site.

Compilation

This paragraph is only a quickstart guide for the compilation of Centreon Clib.

CentOS / Debian / Raspbian

Compilation of these distributions is pretty straightforward.

You'll need to download the project and launch the cmake.sh script to prepare the compilation environment:

git clone https://github.com/centreon/centreon-clib
cd centreon-clib
./cmake.sh

Now launch the compilation using the make command and then install the software by running make install as priviledged user:

cd build
make
make install

Other distributions

If you are on another distribution, then follow the steps below.

Check if you have these packages installed (Note that packages names come from CentOS distributions, so if some packages names don't match on your distribution try to find their equivalent names): git, make, cmake.

You can now prepare the compilation environment:

git clone https://github.com/centreon/centreon-clib
mkdir -p centreon-clib/build
cd centreon-clib/build
cmake -DWITH_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DWITH_PREFIX_LIB=/usr/lib64 -DWITH_TESTING=On  ..

Now launch the compilation using the make command and then install the software by running make install as priviledged user:

make
make install

You're done!
