How to build facebook's scribe?

Question

I just downloaded the source code of facebook's scribe. I'm new to it and having read the readme.build file , I can say I could barely understand how to build it. Could anyone give me the step by step procedures? thanks... :)

Answer 1

All you need to do is follow the readme/build instructions that came with the package. If you don't have Linux installed in your PC, you can simply use a VM and install linux in it...

Answer 2

I wrote a detailed tutorial on how to build Scribe from the source on Linux (Fedora) here:

It is pretty complex to install frankly, so hopefully the steps above will help you out.
