Download Source Code

Use the gpadmin user from now on

From here on out we execute commands as the gpadmin user:

sudo su - gpadmin

Clone the Apache Cloudberry repository

Clone the release source code for Apache Cloudberry into the gpadmin user's home directory:

git clone https://github.com/apache/cloudberry.git ~/cloudberry
cd ~/cloudberry
git submodule update --init --recursive
git checkout tags/<release tag>

note

The command git submodule update --init --recursive is used to initialize submodules for building with PAX support in this guide. If you don't plan to build with PAX support, you can skip this step.

caution

In the Ubuntu container, you may encounter the following error when clone the source code:

error: git-remote-https died of signal 4

You can set the following environment variable to avoid this error:

export GNUTLS_CPUID_OVERRIDE=0x1

Download the source code archive

Alternatively, you can download the source code archive from the Apache Cloudberry releases page.

tar xvzf apache-cloudberry-<version>-incubating.tar.gz
cd apache-cloudberry-<version>-incubating

note

The submodules are already included in the latest 2.0.0 release source code archive, so you don't need to download the submodules manually after extracting the archive.
