sudo apt-get install flexc++ bisonc++ make llvm-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-system-dev clang python3

Other Linux (FlexC++/BisonC++)

If your Linux distro doesn't have flexc++/bisonc++ then you can download appimages of these programs:

• flexc++
• bisonc++

You can also use the jdm64/saphyr docker image to build the frontend by running:

sudo make frontend-docker

NOTE: On Fedora you must disable SELinux (sudo setenforce 0) or you will get a permission error.

Build Instructions

Run make in the src directory and it will build the compiler binary saphyr.
