Ubuntu 20.04 | missing "libgdal-dev" dependency

[matiasvlevi]

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

I had some trouble when installing the yarn dependencies

I get a missing libgdal-dev dependency

I used

yarn dev:install-cpp-dependencies

Error message I got

Mypath/modules/core/bin/install-deps/debian.sh: line 80: libgdal-dev: command not found

I tried installing the dependency with apt-get with no avail

Could someone please help me with this? It is probably on my end rather than yours

Looks like I copy/pasted the dependency list from the docker container, but the comments here aren't valid in a bash script. If you delete the comment lines, yarn dev:install-cpp-dependencies should work.

In general, the easiest way to build and run is via docker. Looks like the install-cpp-dependencies command is also missing the dependencies for building BlazingSQL. You might not want these dependencies installed on your host system, or want to deal with updating them when they change (we're bumping UCX to 1.11.x in an open PR).

For these reasons, we strongly recommend building and running in docker.
