## Build Requirements
The requirements below are based off running clean builds using ninja, with the command

```sh
runbuild.sh –c –n
```

The builds were run on [Azure Linux VMs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/sizes-general) with added disk capacity. If you want to to build on an Azure machine you need to add approximately 70GB for the source+build outputs. 

These times should be taken as estimates of how long a build will take.

|Machine SKU|Cores|Memory|Build Time|
|-----------|-----|-----------|----------|
|Standard_D8s_v3|8|32GB|~4 hours|
|Standard_D16s_v3|16|64GB|~2 hours|
|Standard_D32s_v3|32|128GB|~1 hour|

On a smaller VM (Standard_D4s_V3 / 4 cores / 16GB) the build may fail. You may be able to build on a machine with less RAM if you limit the parallelism using the `-j` switch.

The build also requires approximately 70GB of disk space.

### Installing docker
Our build environment depends on Docker. In order to get started you will need to [install docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/).  

There are many ways to install docker. Here is how to install on Ubuntu:

```sh
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce
```

---

## Optional: Enable executing docker without sudo
By default docker requires root privelages to run. In order to run docker as a regular user (i.e, not root), you need to add the user to the `docker` user group:

```sh
sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
su - ${USER}
```

You do not need to do this, but note that if you skip this step, you must run all docker commands with sudo.
