3.3. Build from Sources

Note

There is a all-in-one build development installation available (Windows, several versions of Visual Studio). This contains all dependencies that are required to build itom and its main plugins from sources. See the section All-In-One development setup below for more information.

Alternatively, it is possible to get the sources of |itomproject| (e.g. clone the latest Git repository from git@github.com:itom-project/itomProject.git), initialize and update the submodules itom, plugins and designerplugins.

Then you can compile an up-to-date version of |itomproject|. This is recommended for developers (e.g. plugin developers) and required for linux users. Before getting the source files, check the build dependencies below which contain software packages and libraries necessary to build and |itomproject|.
