+## Debian/Ubuntu install
+The following command will install tools and libraries required to build and install the Apache Thrift compiler and C++ libraries on a Debian/Ubuntu Linux based system.
+
+	sudo apt-get install automake bison flex g++ git libboost-all-dev libevent-dev libssl-dev libtool make pkg-config
+
+Debian 7/Ubuntu 12 users need to manually install a more recent version of automake and (for C++ library and test support) boost:
+
+    wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/automake-1.15/automake_1.15-3_all.deb
+    sudo dpkg -i automake_1.15-3_all.deb
+
+    wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.60.0/boost_1_60_0.tar.gz                                                                      tar xvf boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
+    cd boost_1_60_0
+    ./bootstrap.sh
+    sudo ./b2 install
