Before building the source package, make sure following libraries are installed:
| Ubuntu/Debian install | RedHat/CentOS install | |
|---|---|---|
| openssl | apt-get install libssl-dev |
yum install libssl-dev |
| zlib | apt-get install zlib1g-dev |
yum install zlib-devel |
| readline | apt-get install libreadline6-dev |
yum install readline-devel |
Then download source package from the Download page and extract it.
Finally, build and install using ./configure && make && sudo make install:
$ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install
Above commands install Fluent to $prefix and Ruby to $prefix/lib/fluent/ruby.
Next step: :ref:`install/confirm`
If you have installed Ruby >= 1.9.2, you can use RubyGems to download and install Fluent.
You can confirm installed Ruby's version as following:
$ ruby --version ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [x86_64-darwin10.6.0]
If it says ruby 1.9.2 or above, use gem command to install fluent:
$ sudo gem install fluent
Next step: :ref:`install/confirm`
To install the latest development version from the source repository, prepare Ruby >= 1.9.2 and run following commands:
$ git clone https://github.com/fluent/fluent.git $ cd fluent $ rake $ gem install pkg/fluent-*.gem
Next step: :ref:`install/confirm`
To confirm installation, run following commands:
$ fluentd --setup ./fluent
$ fluentd -c fluentd/fluent.conf -vv &&
$ echo '{"json":"message"}' | fluent-cat debug.test
The last command sends fluentd a message '{"json":"message"}' with "debug.test" tag. If the installation was successful, fluentd will output following message:
2011-07-10 16:49:50 +0900 debug.test: {"json":"message"}
Once you installed, you can update to the latest version using following command:
$ sudo fluent-gem install fluent
Next step: :ref:`config`
Next step: :ref:`devel`
