Installing watchman on Ubuntu 18.04
1 min readJun 12, 2018
$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/facebook/watchman.git
$ cd watchman/
$ git checkout v4.9.0
$ sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake build-essential python-dev
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install$ watchman --version
Possible errors:
1. While running ./autogen.sh
Error: your system lacks libtoolize Solution: sudo apt-get install libtool
2. While running make
Error: ContentHash.cpp:13:10: fatal error: openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory Solution: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Thank You.
