This has been built on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16 using only the following dependencies:
sudo apt-get install \
g++ cmake libboost-all-dev pandoc \
zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libsqlite3-dev
It does not build on Ubuntu 14 because the default version of Boost was built with the incorrect ABI.
Need to rewrite these, but here's the basics:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make test
make install
To disable building unit tests (these can take a while):
cmake -DBUILD_tests=OFF ..
To build translucent:
cmake -DBUILD_translucent=ON ..
It should run on any recent standard 64 bit Linux environment, with as little as 2 GB of free RAM.
For best performance, we recommend using a machine with 16-32 GB of RAM.
