Dependencies

LingoDB relies on three main external dependencies:

Additional tools and libraries required:

  • C++ compiler supporting C++ 20
  • CMake 3.13.4 or newer
  • Ninja
  • lit (optional, for testing), can be e.g., installed via pip install lit

We also provide a Dockerfile that contains all dependencies and tools required to build LingoDB.

When building dependencies from source, make sure that either the cmake config files are installed in a system-wide locations, or for example, the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is set accordingly.

LLVM/MLIR​

Follow the instructions on https://apt.llvm.org/ to install the repository on your system. Then install the following packages: clang-20 llvm-20 libclang-20-dev llvm-20-dev libmlir-20-dev mlir-20-tools clang-tidy-20

Binaries​

For other recent Linux distributions, you can also rely on the pre-built binaries provided by the LLVM project on the Github release pages.
