Instructions on how to download the icedb sources
Edit me
Download icedb
First download or clone icedb from the Github repo. Development is ongoing, so cloning the repository probably makes the most sense. On the repository page, click the Clone or download button, and then copy either the SSH or HTTPS URL to use with the git clone command.
Note: The Download as ZIP option is not recommended. It causes problems with icedb’s dependency and version tracking code.
When cloning icedb, you need to get both the icedb source and it’s git submodules! If you do not get the submodules, then the CMake configuration step will fail! To both clone icedb and get submodules, run:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/rhoneyager/libicedb.git
Once downloaded, go the the appropriate section of the “Specific build instructions” area (on the sidebar) that matches your operating system.
Note: If you have a very old version of git, then the above command might not work. Upgrade
your version of git. If you can use Conda for providing package dependencies, then follow its
installation instructions here.
