Building on Ubuntu 20.04

Install Crystal compiler

$ sudo snap install crystal --classic
$ sudo apt-get update -y
$ sudo apt-get install -y gcc pkg-config git tzdata \
                          libpcre3-dev libevent-dev libyaml-dev \
                          libgmp-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev

Build the executable

$ shards build

or

$ shards build --release

For slightly faster runtime performance at the expense of longer build time.

This will create a binary in bin/dumpproc

Install

Copy the binary to a location in the path, e.g.

$ sudo cp bin/dumpproc /usr/local/bin/
