# Building
At the moment, TDengine only supports building and running on Linux systems. You can choose to [install from packages](https://www.taosdata.com/en/getting-started/#Install-from-Package) or from the source code. This quick guide is for installation from the source only.
To build TDengine, use [CMake](https://cmake.org/) 2.8 or higher versions in the project directory.

To build TDengine, use [CMake](https://cmake.org/) 2.8 or higher versions in the project directory. Install CMake for example on Ubuntu:
```
sudo apt-get install -y cmake build-essential
```
To compile and package the JDBC driver source code, you should have a Java jdk-8 or higher and Apache Maven 2.7 or higher installed.
To install openjdk-8 on Ubuntu:
```
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
```
To install Apache Maven on Ubuntu:
```
sudo apt-get install maven
```
Build TDengine:
```cmd
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && cmake --build .
```
# Installing
After building successfully, TDengine can be installed by:
```cmd
make install
```
Users can find more information about directories installed on the system in the [directory and files](https://www.taosdata.com/en/documentation/administrator/#Directory-and-Files) section. It should be noted that installing from source code does not configure service management for TDengine.

# Running
<!-- TDengine uses _/etc/taos/taos.cfg_ as the default configuration file. This behavior can be changed with _-c_ option. For a quick start, we will make directories structured as:
```
test/

To reduce the development complexity and improve data consistency, TDengine provides the pub/sub functionality. To publish a message, you simply insert a record into a table. Compared with popular messaging tool Kafka, you subscribe to a table or a SQL query statement, instead of a topic. Once new data points arrive, TDengine will notify the application. The process is just like Kafka.

##Caching
TDengine allocates a fixed-size buffer in memory, the newly arrived data will be written into the buffer first. Every device or table gets one or more memory blocks. For typical IoT scenarios, the hot data shall always be newly arrived data, they are more important for timely analysis. Based on this observation, TDengine manages the cache blocks in First-In-First-Out strategy. If no enough space in the buffer, the oldest data will be saved into hard disk first, then be overwritten by newly arrived data. TDengine also guarantees every device can keep at least one block of data in the buffer.
