description: Building Pantheon from source code
<!--- END of page meta data -->
# Build from Source
## Prerequisites
* [Java JDK](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html)
!!!important
Pantheon requires Java 8+ to compile; earlier versions are not supported.
* [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) or [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com/)
## Running Locally
* [Installation on Linux / Unix / Mac OS X](#installation-on-linux-unix-mac-os-x)
* [Installation on Windows](#installation-on-windows)
## Running On Virtual Machine
* [Installation on VM](#installation-on-vm)
## Installation on Linux / Unix / Mac OS X
###Clone the Pantheon Repository
Clone the **PegaSysEng/pantheon** repo to your home directory (`/home/<user>`):
```bash
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/PegaSysEng/pantheon.git
```
### Build Pantheon
After cloning, go to the `pantheon` directory.
Build Pantheon with the Gradle wrapper `gradlew`, omitting tests as follows:
```bash
$ ./gradlew build -x test
```
Go to the distribution directory:
```bash
$ cd build/distributions/
```
Expand the distribution archive:
```bash
$ tar -xzf pantheon-<version>.tar.gz
```
Move to the expanded folder and display the Pantheon help to confirm installation.
````bash
$ cd pantheon-<version>/
$ bin/pantheon --help
````
Continue with the [Private Network Quickstart](../Tutorials/Private-Network-Quickstart.md) or [Starting Pantheon](../Getting-Started/Starting-Pantheon.md).
## Installation on Windows
!!!note
Pantheon is currently supported only on 64-bit versions of Windows, and requires a 64-bit version of JDK/JRE.
We recommend that you also remove any 32-bit JDK/JRE installations.
### Install Pantheon
In Git bash, go to your working directory for repositories. Clone the `PegaSysEng/pantheon` repo into this directory:
```bat
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PegaSysEng/pantheon
```
### Build Pantheon
Go to the `pantheon` directory:
```bat
cd pantheon
```
Open a Windows command prompt. Build Pantheon with the Gradle wrapper `gradlew`, omitting tests as follows:
```bat
.\gradlew build -x test
```
!!!note
To run `gradlew`, you must have the **JAVA_HOME** system variable set to the Java installation directory.
For example: `JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_181`.
Go to the distribution directory:
```bat
cd build\distributions
```
Expand the distribution archive:
```bat
tar -xzf pantheon-<version>.tar.gz
```
Move to the expanded folder and display the Pantheon help to confirm installation.
```bat
cd pantheon-<version>
bin\pantheon --help
```
Continue with the [Private Network Quickstart](../Tutorials/Private-Network-Quickstart.md) or [Starting Pantheon](../Getting-Started/Starting-Pantheon.md).
## Installation on VM
You can run Pantheon on a virtual machine (VM) on a cloud service such as AWS or Azure, or locally using a VM manager such as [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/).
If you set up your own VM locally using a VM manager such as [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/), there are a few considerations:
* Make sure that Intel Virtualization Technology (VTx) and Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) are enabled in BIOS settings.
* On Windows, you might need to disable Hyper-V in the Windows Feature list.
It is recommended that you create a VM with the following attributes:
* Memory Size: Set to 4096 (recommended)
* Create a virtual hard disk with at least 10 GB; 20 GB is recommended
* Virtual hard disk file type: VDI (if you need to share it with other apps, use VHD)
* (Optional) You can create a shared directory in order to copy block files or genesis files from the host computer to the VM. For details on how to create a shared directory, see "Share Folders" in [Install Ubuntu on Oracle VirtualBox](https://linus.nci.nih.gov/bdge/installUbuntu.html).
