Before building Pixie, apt-get install the following prerequisites: build-essential pkg-config curl libffi-dev libedit-dev libuv1-dev libboost-all-dev

1. Install the required packages via

       pkg install libuv libffi gmake readline python
   

2. Clone the repository

3. And run the following commands inside of it:

       make build_with_jit
   

4. This creates an executable named pixie-vm

1. Install Xcode

2. Install the Xcode command line tools (this allows /usr/local to be included in the path)

    xcode-select --install
   

3. Install Homebrew:

    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
   

4. Install the build dependencies

    brew install libuv libffi boost
   

5. After the installation, remember to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH and CPATH accordingly. For example (please note version numbers will be different in your system):

    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/libffi/3.0.13/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/local/Cellar/libuv/1.10.0/lib/pkgconfig/
    export CPATH=/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.62.0/include/
   

6. Build pixie

    make build_with_jit
   

7. Add pixie to path

    ln -s $(pwd)/pixie-vm /usr/local/bin/pixie
