Build dependencies:
- libaio
- libblkid
- libclang
- libkeyutils
- liblz4
- libsodium
- liburcu
- libuuid
- libzstd
- pkg-config
- valgrind
- zlib1g
In addition a recent Rust toolchain is required (rustc, cargo), either by using
rustup or make sure to use a distribution where a recent
enough rustc is available. Please check rust-version
in Cargo.toml
to see
the minimum supported Rust version (MSRV).
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- -y --no-modify-path
Debian (Bullseye or later) and Ubuntu (20.04 or later): you can install these with
apt install -y pkg-config libaio-dev libblkid-dev libkeyutils-dev \
liblz4-dev libsodium-dev liburcu-dev libzstd-dev \
uuid-dev zlib1g-dev valgrind libudev-dev udev git build-essential \
python3 python3-docutils libclang-dev debhelper dh-python
Starting from Debian Trixie and Ubuntu 23.10, you will additionally need:
apt install -y systemd-dev
Fedora: install the "Development tools" group along with:
dnf install -y libaio-devel libsodium-devel \
libblkid-devel libzstd-devel zlib-devel userspace-rcu-devel \
lz4-devel libuuid-devel valgrind-devel keyutils-libs-devel \
findutils udev systemd-devel llvm-devel
Arch: install bcachefs-tools-git from the AUR. Or to build from source, install build dependencies with
pacman -S base-devel libaio keyutils libsodium liburcu zstd valgrind llvm
Then, just make && make install
Experimental fuse support is currently disabled by default. Fuse support is at an early stage and may corrupt your filesystem, so it should only be used for testing. To enable, you'll also need to add:
- libfuse3 >= 3.7
On Debian/Ubuntu (Bullseye/20.04 or later needed for libfuse >= 3.7):
apt install -y libfuse3-dev
On Fedora (32 or later needed for libfuse >= 3.7):
dnf install -y fuse3-devel
Arch:
pacman -S fuse3
Then, make using the BCACHEFS_FUSE
environment variable (make clean first if
previously built without fuse support):
BCACHEFS_FUSE=1 make && make install
