Build the binary with make on Linux (CPU only)

Note.

Training on GPU requires NVIDIA Driver of version 390.xx or higher.

To build a CPU version of the command-line package using make:

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/catboost/catboost.git

  2. Install the appropriate package (for example, libc6-dev on Ubuntu).

  3. Install Clang 3.9.

  4. Set the CC and CXX variables to point to the installed Clang 3.9, for example:

    export CC=/usr/bin/clang
export CXX=/usr/bin/clang++

  5. Run the following command:

    make -f make/CLANG39-LINUX-X86_64.makefile

The output directory for the binary is /catboost/catboost/app.
