## Build from source

### Get source

    ```
    git clone --recursive https://github.com/uglide/RedisDesktopManager.git -b 2019 rdm && cd ./rdm
    ```

> !!! warning "SSH Tunneling support"
    Since 0.9.9 RDM by default does not include SSH Tunneling support. If you need it please checkout 0.9.8 tag,
    i.e. `git checkout 0.9.8`. Or you can create a SSH tunnel to your Redis server manually and connect to `localhost`:
    `ssh -L 6379:REDIS_HOST:6379 SSH_USER@SSH_HOST -P SSH_PORT -i SSH_KEY -T -N`

### Build on Linux

```
cd src/
./configure
qmake && make && sudo make install
cd /opt/redis-desktop-manager/
sudo mv qt.conf qt.backup
```

> !!! tip "Tip: checkinstall"
    Instead of `sudo make install` consider to use `sudo checkinstall -D --install` on **deb**-based OS and `sudo checkinstall -R --install` on **rpm**-based OS to generate package and install it into the system.

2. Install [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/)
3. Copy `cd ./src && cp ./resources/Info.plist.sample ./resources/Info.plist`
4. Building RDM dependencies require i.a. openssl and cmake. Install them: `brew install openssl cmake`
5. Build RDM dependencies `./configure`
6. Install [Qt 5.9](http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#section-2). Add Qt Creator and under Qt 5.9.x add Qt Charts module.
