Compiling ArangoDB from Source

ArangoDB can be compiled directly from source. It will compile on most Linuxand macOS systems, as well as on Windows.

We assume that you use the GNU C/C++ compiler or clang/clang++ to compile thesource. ArangoDB has been tested with these compilers, but should be able tocompile with any Posix-compliant, C++14-enabled compiler. For our Windowsbuilds we use Microsoft’s Visual C++ 2017 compiler.

By default, cloning the GitHub repository will checkout the devel branch.This branch contains the development version of the ArangoDB. Use this branchif you want to make changes to the ArangoDB source.
