## Linux Distribution Specific Instructions
## Dependencies
### Ubuntu & Debian
You can either build from self-compiled [depends](/depends/README.md) or
install the dependencies from your distribution package manager. Dependencies
for additional features in later columns are optional.
#### Dependency Build Instructions
Build requirements for the latest Debian "stable" release, or the latest Ubuntu LTS release:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake pkgconf python3
| Package manager | Required build dependencies | SQLite (wallet) | Cap'n Proto (IPC) | ZMQ | USDT | Qt and libqrencode (GUI) |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------- | --- | ---- | ------------------------ |
| Debian / Ubuntu (`apt`) | `build-essential cmake pkgconf python3 libevent-dev libboost-dev` | `libsqlite3-dev` | `libcapnp-dev capnproto` | `libzmq3-dev` | `systemtap-sdt-dev` | `qt6-base-dev qt6-tools-dev qt6-l10n-tools qt6-tools-dev-tools libgl-dev qt6-wayland libqrencode-dev` |
| Fedora (`dnf`) | `gcc-c++ cmake make python3 libevent-devel boost-devel` | `sqlite-devel` | `capnproto capnproto-devel` | `zeromq-devel` | `systemtap-sdt-devel` | `qt6-qtbase-devel qt6-qttools-devel qt6-qtwayland qrencode-devel` |
| Alpine (`apk`) | `build-base cmake linux-headers pkgconf python3 libevent-dev boost-dev` | `sqlite-dev` | `capnproto capnproto-dev` | `zeromq-dev` | Not supported | `qt6-qtbase-dev qt6-qttools-dev libqrencode-dev` |
| Arch (`pacman`) | `gcc make cmake pkgconf python libevent boost` | `sqlite` | `capnproto` | `zeromq` | `systemtap` | `qt6-base qt6-tools qt6-wayland qrencode` |
For Debian "oldstable", or earlier Ubuntu LTS releases, you may need to pick a
later compiler version, according to the [dependencies](/doc/dependencies.md)
documentation.
Now, you can either build from self-compiled [depends](#dependencies) or install the required dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libevent-dev libboost-dev
SQLite is required for the wallet:
sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev
To build Bitcoin Core without the wallet, see [*Disable-wallet mode*](#disable-wallet-mode)
and use `-DENABLE_WALLET=OFF` to build without the wallet and skip the SQLite dependency.
Cap'n Proto is needed for IPC functionality (see [multiprocess.md](multiprocess.md)):
sudo apt-get install libcapnp-dev capnproto
Cap'n Proto is needed for IPC functionality (see [multiprocess.md](multiprocess.md)).
Compile with `-DENABLE_IPC=OFF` if you do not need IPC functionality.
ZMQ-enabled binaries are compiled with `-DWITH_ZMQ=ON` and require the following dependency:
ZMQ-enabled binaries are compiled with `-DWITH_ZMQ=ON` and require libzmq.
sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev
User-Space, Statically Defined Tracing (USDT) dependencies:
sudo apt install systemtap-sdt-dev
User-Space, Statically Defined Tracing (USDT) requires the systemtap-sdt
development package and must be enabled via `-DWITH_USDT=ON`.
GUI dependencies:
Bitcoin Core includes a GUI built with the cross-platform Qt Framework. To compile the GUI, we need to install
the necessary parts of Qt, the libqrencode and pass `-DBUILD_GUI=ON`. Skip if you don't intend to use the GUI.
sudo apt-get install qt6-base-dev qt6-tools-dev qt6-l10n-tools qt6-tools-dev-tools libgl-dev
Additionally, to support Wayland protocol for modern desktop environments:
sudo apt install qt6-wayland
The GUI will be able to encode addresses in QR codes unless this feature is explicitly disabled. To install libqrencode, run:
sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev
Additionally, install the Qt Wayland platform plugin for modern desktop environments.
The GUI will be able to encode addresses in QR codes and requires libqrencode.
Otherwise, if you don't need QR encoding support, use the `-DWITH_QRENCODE=OFF` option to disable this feature in order to compile the GUI.
### Disable-wallet mode
### Fedora
#### Dependency Build Instructions
Build requirements:
sudo dnf install gcc-c++ cmake make python3
Now, you can either build from self-compiled [depends](#dependencies) or install the required dependencies:
sudo dnf install libevent-devel boost-devel
SQLite is required for the wallet:
sudo dnf install sqlite-devel
To build Bitcoin Core without the wallet, see [*Disable-wallet mode*](#disable-wallet-mode)
ZMQ-enabled binaries are compiled with `-DWITH_ZMQ=ON` and require the following dependency:
sudo dnf install zeromq-devel
User-Space, Statically Defined Tracing (USDT) dependencies:

Cap'n Proto is needed for IPC functionality (see [multiprocess.md](multiprocess.md)):

sudo dnf install qrencode-devel
Otherwise, if you don't need QR encoding support, use the `-DWITH_QRENCODE=OFF` option to disable this feature in order to compile the GUI.
### Alpine
#### Dependency Build Instructions
Build requirements:
apk add build-base cmake linux-headers pkgconf python3
Now, you can either build from self-compiled [depends](#dependencies) or install the required dependencies:
apk add libevent-dev boost-dev
SQLite is required for the wallet:
apk add sqlite-dev
To build Bitcoin Core without the wallet, see [*Disable-wallet mode*](#disable-wallet-mode)
Cap'n Proto is needed for IPC functionality (see [multiprocess.md](multiprocess.md)):
apk add capnproto capnproto-dev
Compile with `-DENABLE_IPC=OFF` if you do not need IPC functionality.
ZMQ dependencies (provides ZMQ API):
apk add zeromq-dev
User-Space, Statically Defined Tracing (USDT) is not supported or tested on Alpine Linux at this time.
GUI dependencies:
Bitcoin Core includes a GUI built with the cross-platform Qt Framework. To compile the GUI, we need to install
the necessary parts of Qt, the libqrencode and pass `-DBUILD_GUI=ON`. Skip if you don't intend to use the GUI.
apk add qt6-qtbase-dev qt6-qttools-dev
The GUI will be able to encode addresses in QR codes unless this feature is explicitly disabled. To install libqrencode, run:

Otherwise, if you don't need QR encoding support, use the `-DWITH_QRENCODE=OFF` option to disable this feature in order to compile the GUI.
## Dependencies
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview, and
[depends](/depends/README.md) on how to compile them yourself, if you wish to
not use the packages of your Linux distribution.
