Operating System-independent Overview

The following is an operating system-independent list of libraries and utilities required to build and install Samba. Depending on your distribution, the name of packages can differ. Usually library packages are named lib*-devel or lib*-dev. For a list of distribution specific package installation commands, see Distribution-specific Packages Required to Build Samba.


Mandatory

Libraries and utilities Required for
python3 Several utilities, such as samba-tool and the build system (Waf), are written in Python 3.x.
perl
Parse::Yapp Used in PIDL, our IDL compiler.
acl Required only on Samba Active Directory domain controllers and member servers using Windows ACLs.
xattr Required only on Samba Active Directory domain controllers and member servers using Windows ACLs.
gnutls >= 3.4.7 Required for cryptography
zlib Provides the crc32 checksum across Samba and compression for DRSUAPI (AD replication)

Optional

Libraries and utilities Required for
krb5-devel MIT Kerberos support (except a very bare-bones file server and if not using internal Heimdal). Requires MIT Kerberos 1.15.1 or later.
krb5-server MIT Kerberos support (Samba as an AD DC if not using the internal Heimdal). Requires MIT Kerberos 1.15.1 or later.
blkid
dbus vfs_snapper
jansson-devel Audit logging (Samba 4.7 and later), Samba AD DC
readline
bsd or setproctitle Process title updating support.
xsltproc or docbook Man pages and other documentation.
pam-devel PAM support. For example, to authenticate domain users using PAM.
cups CUPS printer sharing support.
openldap NT4 Domains support, including the Samba NT4 to AD migration (Classic Upgrade).
python3-markdown For samba-tool domain schemaupgrade
patch For samba-tool domain schemaupgrade
gpgme-devel For reading passwords in samba-tool user passwordsync from encrypted cleartext
python3-gpg or python3-gpgme For storing passwords for samba-tool user passwordsync in encrypted cleartext
flex Generates C source from the .l lexical analyzer files in our source tree. Used when building the embedded Heimdal or spotlight support

Selftest

The following additional packages / utilities are required only for running some tests.

Libraries and utilities Required for
bash Some blackbox tests are bash-specific
python3-iso8601 Used by our selftest and required from the system in samba 4.14 and later.
python3-cryptography Used by our selftest to test Kerberos
python3-asn1 Used by our selftest to test ASN.1 protocols like LDAP and Kerberos

Packages Required to Build Samba

If you download a version of Samba >= 4.11.0 (either by git or by using wget to obtain a tarball), you will find in the base of the code a directory named bootstrap. Inside this directory there is another directory named generated-dists. Inside that directory there are further directories named after distros, inside of each of those directories there is a bash script named bootstrap.sh, running this script will install the required dependencies to build the downloaded version of Samba on your distro.

For example, the latest version of Samba is 4.18.5 (This is at the beginning of August 2023), which you can download with: 

$ wget https://download.samba.org/pub/samba/stable/samba-4.18.5.tar.gz

After the download, you should find a tarball named samba-4.18.5.tar.gz

You can unpack this tarball with: 

$ tar xf samba-4.18.5.tar.gz

After the tarball is unpacked, you should now find that you have a directory named samba-4.18.5. You can now cd directly into the directory that holds the distro directories with: 

$ cd samba-4.18.5/bootstrap/generated-dists

Checking the contents of the directory with ls should produce output like this: 

$ ls
centos7  centos8s  debian11  f37mit120  fedora37  opensuse154  ubuntu1804  ubuntu1804-32bit  ubuntu2004  ubuntu2204  Vagrantfile



If your distro is amongst the listed directories, then cd into the relevant directory and run the bootstrap.sh script you will find there. This will install all the required dependencies.

If your distro isn't mentioned then you will have to attempt to identify the required dependencies from the information below.


Manually maintained Distribution-specific Package lists

This list is for older Samba versions (4.10 and earlier) and distributions not included in the table above


Samba Active Directory Domain Controller

The following installation commands include the BIND DNS server. If you are using the Samba internal DNS server, omit the BIND package(s). However, you require the package containing the nsupdate utility to enable dynamic DNS support.


Debian / Ubuntu

# apt-get install acl attr autoconf bind9utils bison build-essential \
  debhelper dnsutils docbook-xml docbook-xsl flex gdb libjansson-dev krb5-user \
  libacl1-dev libaio-dev libarchive-dev libattr1-dev libblkid-dev libbsd-dev \
  libcap-dev libcups2-dev libgnutls28-dev libgpgme-dev libjson-perl \
  libldap2-dev libncurses5-dev libpam0g-dev libparse-yapp-perl \
  libpopt-dev libreadline-dev nettle-dev perl pkg-config \
  python3-dev python3-dbg python3-crypto python3-dnspython python3-gpg python3-markdown \
  xsltproc zlib1g-dev liblmdb-dev lmdb-utils

Notes:

  • Before Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04, libgnutls28-dev was known as libgnutls-dev.
  • If you are building Samba on a system that uses systemd, you will also require the libsystemd-dev package
  • To use a MIT Kerberos KDC, you will need libkrb5-dev and krb5-kdc, version 1.15.1 or greater.
