Traffic Server is a high-performance building block for cloud services. It's more than just a caching proxy server; it also has support for plugins to build large scale web applications.

This section outlines build requirements for different OS distributions. This may be out of date compared to the on-line requirements at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/Building.
As of ATS v9.0.0 and later, gcc 7 or later is required, since we now use and require the C++17 standard.

You can download the latest source code from the official Apache Traffic Server site:
https://trafficserver.apache.org/downloads
(or via the URL shortener: http://s.apache.org/uG). Once downloaded, follow the instructions:
tar jxvf trafficserver-9.1.3.tar.bz2
cd trafficserver-9.1.3
./configure # configure the build environment to create Makefiles
make # execute the compile
This will build with a destination prefix of /usr/local. You can finish the installation with
sudo make install
git clone https://github.com/apache/trafficserver.git # get the source code from ASF Git repository
cd trafficserver # enter the checkout directory
autoreconf -if # generate the configure script and Makefile.in files
./configure # configure the build environment to create Makefiles
make # execute the compile
NOTE: Alternately you may use the scripts under 'contrib' which will automate the install for trafficserver under EC2 which is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. See 'README-EC2' for further details.
mkdir -p /mnt #EC2 Storage Mount, where storage is located
cd /mnt
git clone ... # get the source code from ASF Git repo
cd trafficserver # enter the checkout dir
autoreconf -i --force # generate the configure script and Makefile.in files
./configure
make
mkdir -p /mnt #EC2 Storage Mount, where storage is located
cd /mnt
git clone ... # get the source code from ASF Git repo
cd trafficserver # enter the checkout dir
autoreconf -i --force # generate the configure script and Makefile.in files
./configure --disable-eventfd
make
The only difference is how to run configure and make:
MAKE=gmake ./configure # make sure that gmake is the make we use
gmake

This distribution includes cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption software, to see if this is permitted. See http://www.wassenaar.org/ for more information.
The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object code and source code.
The following provides more details on the included cryptographic software:
The functionality of OpenSSL http://www.openssl.org/ is utilized in parts of the software.
