Installation f(x)Core
We recommend the following for running f(x)Core:
- 4 or more CPU cores
- At least 500G of disk storage
- At least 8G of memory
- At least 10mbps network bandwidth
Install
make and gcc.On Ubuntu this can be done with the following commands:
Ubuntu
Mac
Windows
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y make gcc
Ps:sudo apt-get install -y make gccmay have encountered a problem with locked files, just trysudo apt-get install -y make gccagain.
Once you have Homebrew installed, you may run the following commands to install
make :brew install make
and
gcc:brew install gcc
We'll be needing these commands later so let's install the necessary packages:
brew install git
brew install wget
Ensure you have
make and gcc installed and that the paths are set correctly for git bash.You may select tdm64-gcc-10.3.0-2
Restart gitbash after installing
Once you have chocolate installed, run this command:
make sure to run gitbash as administrator mode if the following commands do not work
choco install make
Ensure you have all the necessary dependencies and compilers.
gcc --version
will return:
gcc.exe (tdm64-1) 10.3.0
