Description

Update "Building From Source"

Product: Tarantool
Root document: https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/latest/dev_guide/building_from_source/

Details

  • I was building Tarantool locally using the instructions in https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/latest/dev_guide/building_from_source/. There seems to be an issue in the instructions provided for building in the Ubuntu/Debian.
  • the python3-pyyaml module is no more in the apt-get repository and it has now been named python3-yaml. But this has not been updated in the instructions.

  • Ref: Line 1 of the instructions
  • Also it will be good if for the development purpose the python modules are installed using a virtual environment created using conda, venv or virtualenv, rather than installing the modules the system python. So adding instructions regarding the same will be helpful.

Definition of done

  • update python3-pyyaml to python3-yaml
  • Add instructions to install python libraries using virtual environment of conda or venv or virtualenv

Research direction

Start with the root document at https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/latest/dev_guide/building_from_source/. Check the Ubuntu/Debian build instructions, update python3-pyyaml to python3-yaml, and add guidance for installing Python libraries in a conda, venv, or virtualenv environment. Done means both checklist items are addressed in the published instructions.
