Before you Compile ntopng
-------------------------

If you want to use binary packages instead of compiling ntopng from source you can
download them for various platforms at http://packages.ntop.org/

Prerequisites for Compilation
-----------------------------

Prerequisites
- glib2
- GNU autotools/libtool
- libmaxminddb
- libpcap or PF_RING (optional but recommended)
- redis (redis server) 2.2 or newer
- wget (for 'make geoip')
- libxml2-dev
- libglib2.0-dev
- libsqlite3-dev
- libcurl-dev
- libmysqlclient-dev
- uglify-es

On Ubuntu/Debian
- apt-get install build-essential git bison flex libxml2-dev libpcap-dev libtool libtool-bin rrdtool librrd-dev autoconf pkg-config automake autogen redis-server wget libsqlite3-dev libhiredis-dev libmaxminddb-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libpango1.0-dev libcairo2-dev libnetfilter-queue-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libcap-dev libnetfilter-conntrack-dev libreadline-dev libjson-c-dev libldap2-dev rename libsnmp-dev

On Debian 9/10 you need to do add the `contrib` component to /etc/apt/sources.list entries, then
- apt-get install libpng-dev libzmq5-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev
elsewhere
- apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev libzmq3-dev

On Ubuntu16/18 you also need to do "apt-get install libtool-bin"

You can decide to use MariaDB (instead of MySQL) do "apt-get install libmariadb-client-lgpl-dev" instead.

On Debian/Ubuntu if you plan to build packages you should also install
- apt-get install debhelper dpkg-sig dkms

On Centos8
- dnf group install "Development Tools"
- dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
- Set "enabled=1" in file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-PowerTools.repo
- yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm
- yum config-manager --set-enabled remi
- yum clean all
- yum update
- yum install openldap-devel libpcap-devel openssl-devel libcurl-devel libmaxminddb-devel sqlite-devel mysql-devel radcli-devel librdkafka-devel libcap-devel zeromq-devel rrdtool-devel json-c-devel expect 
- Then list the streams which provide Redis (dnf module list redis) and install it. For example, to install it from stream 5 run: sudo dnf module install redis:5
- yum install hiredis-devel

On Fedora 30/31/32:
- dnf install libtool m4
- dnf install autoconf automake
- dnf group install "Development Tools"
- dnf install libpcap-devel openssl-devel libcurl-devel libmaxminddb-devel sqlite-devel mariadb-devel radcli-devel librdkafka-devel libcap-devel zeromq-devel rrdtool-devel json-c-devel expect readline-devel
- dnf install redis

On (Older) Fedora/CentOS 6-7
- yum groupinstall "Development tools"
- yum install git autoconf automake autogen bison flex libpcap-devel libmaxminddb-devel hiredis-devel redis glib2-devel libxml2-devel sqlite-devel gcc-c++ libtool wget libcurl-devel pango-devel cairo-devel libpng-devel mysql-devel libnetfilter_queue-devel zlib-devel which libcap-devel readline-devel zeromq-devel json-c-devel 

On MacOSX (using http://brew.sh)
brew install redis hiredis autoconf automake libtool rrdtool wget pkg-config git mysql 

On MacOSX (using mac ports)
port install redis hiredis autoconf automake libtool rrdtool wget pkgconfig git 

On FreeBSD
See README.FreeBSD

On Cubro EXA8
- apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

On OpenSuse
- zypper install flex bison libpcap-devel libmaxminddb-devel libsqlite3-0-devel sqlite3-devel libmysqlclient-devel czmq-devel

On Windows you can download the Redis server from
- https://github.com/rgl/redis/downloads

Note that:
- you can use ZMQ 4.x in addition to 3.x (but not 2.x)
- make sure nobody owns /var/lib/ntopng
- make sure to have uglify-es to minify JavaScript code, just type, in the command line, `npm install -g uglify-es` to install it (`./autogen.sh && ./configure` is required after installing uglify-es, before running `make minify`)
- make sure to have clean-css-cli to minify and optimize the CSS code, just type, in the command line, `npm install -g clean-css-cli`

Source Code Compilation
-----------------------
Once you have installed all the prerequisites do

# cd <compilation directory>
# git clone https://github.com/ntop/nDPI.git
# cd nDPI; ./autogen.sh; ./configure; make; cd ..
# git clone https://github.com/ntop/ntopng.git
# cd ntopng
# ./autogen.sh
# ./configure
# make
