Linux Specific setup

Building shotover

Shotover requires a single external dependencies to build on linux. gcc must be installed due to the aws-lc-sys and ring crate containing some C code. On Ubuntu you can install it via:

sudo apt-get install gcc

Integration test dependencies

Building and running integration tests and benchmarks requires many more external dependencies. To set them up on ubuntu run the script at shotover-proxy/build/install_ubuntu_deps.sh. Inspect the contents of the script to learn what it installs and why, some of the dependencies are optional, so feel free to skip those by installing the rest manually. If you already have docker installed make sure it is not a rootless install, see install_ubuntu_deps.sh for more information.
