Building Basho Erlang / Riak TS on a Raspberry Pi 3

0. Riak on Raspberry Pi's

This is unsupported by Basho, but you can build Basho's flavor of Erlang and Riak on Raspberry Pis. 

1. Install PreReq's

sudo apt-get install build-essential git autoconf libncurses5-dev openssl libssl-dev fop xsltproc unixodbc-dev libpam0g-dev oracle-java8-jdk maven

2. Building Basho Erlang on a RPi 3

mkdir src
cd src

wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.basho.com/erlang/otp_src_R16B02-basho10.tar.gz
tar zxvf otp_src_R16B02-basho10.tar.gz
cd OTP_R16B02_basho10/


# Note: These steps will take a long time.
./otp_build autoconf
./configure
make
sudo make install

# Report version & arch
erl -eval 'erlang:display(erlang:system_info(otp_release)), erlang:display(erlang:system_info(system_architecture)), halt().'  -noshell

# cd back to src dir
cd ../; 

3. Build Riak TS on RPi 3

# In src dir

git clone https://github.com/basho/riak.git
cd riak

# Run this to build Riak TS 1.5.0
git checkout riak_ts-1.5.0

# Run this to build Riak KV 2.2.1
git checkout riak-2.2.0

make locked-deps

cd deps/eleveldb/c_src/leveldb;
git checkout develop;
cd ../

# If not using a cluster of pis, edit number of leveldb threads to save memory
#sed -i '221s/71/7/g' eleveldb.cc

cd ../../../;

make rel;

cd rel/riak/
echo "leveldb.limited_developer_mem = on" >> etc/riak.conf

## Edit the nodename and ip bindings in the etc/riak.conf file too, riak@raspberrypi may not work

bin/riak start;
