Install dependencies

You will need to ensure the following system wide dependencies are installed.

• Open SSL at least version 1.0.2 or above
• Boost libraries - really boost, boost-system, boost-chrono, boost-thread, boost-atomic
• Google Glog - logging libraries, only installable from source

You can run install-dependencies.sh to grab all these from source, or:

The easiest way on mac to do this is to install Brew, and then run (as a normal user):-

brew install openssl –universal brew install boost –universal brew install libiconv –universal brew install gflags

Note Brew does not yet install Google Logging.
