Currently, the Apache Drill build process is known to work on Linux, Windows and OSX. To build, you need to have the following software installed on your system to successfully complete a build.
- Java 8
- Maven 3.6.3 or greater
The start-build-env.sh script in the root of the project source builds and starts a preconfigured environment
that contains all the tools needed to build Apache Drill from source.
This is known to work on Ubuntu 20.04 with Docker installed. On other systems your success may vary. On Redhat/CentOS based systems no longer have Docker.
# java -version
java version "1.8.0_161"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_161-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.161-b12, mixed mode)
# mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.6.3
Setting up IDE formatters is recommended and can be done by importing the following settings into your browser. Formatter File
git clone https://github.com/apache/drill.git
cd drill
mvn clean install -DskipTests
This command works to build Drill in about 2 minutes for quick testing. The -o (offline) argument
prevents Maven from downloading snapshot artifacts from the snapshot repo.
