On CentOS 6, refer to :ref:`building-centos6` for details on installing + sufficiently up-to-date package versions to enable building FRR. + + Newer automake/autoconf/bison is only needed to build the RPM and is **not** + needed to install the binary RPM package. + +2. Install the build dependencies for your platform. Refer to the + platform-specific build documentation on how to do this. + +3. Install the following additional packages:: + + yum install rpm-build net-snmp-devel pam-devel libcap-devel + + For CentOS 7 and CentOS 8, the package will be built using python3 + and requires additional python3 packages:: + + yum install python3-devel python3-sphinx + + .. note:: + + For CentOS 8 you need to install ``platform-python-devel`` package + to provide ``/usr/bin/pathfix.py``:: + + yum install platform-python-devel + + + If ``yum`` is not present on your system, use ``dnf`` instead. + + You should enable ``PowerTools`` repo if using CentOS 8 which + is disabled by default. + +4.
