    sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-server-dev-10 postgresql-10 \ libedit-dev libselinux1-dev libxslt-dev \ libpam0g-dev git flex make libssl-dev \ libkrb5-dev ```

  2. Get, build, and test the code

    bash git clone https://github.com/citusdata/citus.git cd citus ./configure make sudo make install cd src/test/regress make check

Red Hat-based Linux (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora)

  1. Find the PostgreSQL 10 RPM URL for your repo at yum.postgresql.org
  2. Register its contents with Yum:

    bash sudo yum install -y <url>

  3. Install build dependencies

    ```bash sudo yum update -y sudo yum groupinstall -y 'Development Tools' sudo yum install -y postgresql96-devel postgresql96-server \ libxml2-devel libxslt-devel openssl-devel \ pam-devel readline-devel git

    git clone https://github.com/citusdata/citus.git cd citus PG_CONFIG=/usr/pgsql-9.6/bin/pg_config ./configure make sudo make install cd src/test/regress make check ```

Following our coding conventions

Travis will automatically reject any PRs which do not follow our coding conventions, it won't even run tests! The easiest way to ensure your PR adheres to those conventions is to use the citus_indent tool.

```bash # Ubuntu does have uncrustify in the package manager however it's an older # version which doesn't work with our citus-style.cfg file. We require version # 0.60 or greater. If your package manager has a more recent version of uncrustify # feel free to use that instead of installing from source git clone --branch uncrustify-0.60 https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify.git pushd uncrustify ./configure sudo make install popd

git clone https://github.com/citusdata/tools.git pushd tools/uncrustify make install popd ```

Once you've done that, you can run the citus_indent command to recursively check and correct the style of any source files in the current directory. You can also run make reindent from within the Citus repo to correct the style of all source files in the repository.
