Ubuntu with MariaDB 10.x

AzerothCore does only support MariaDB versions 10.6 and 10.5.

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo apt install git cmake make gcc g++ clang libssl-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libboost-all-dev mariadb-server mariadb-client libmariadb-dev libmariadb-dev-compat

Ubuntu with MySQL 8.x

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git cmake make gcc g++ clang libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libncurses-dev mysql-server libboost-all-dev

Remember that if you are using the root user, it is not necessary to use sudo .

Note: If you get the error cannot find -lstdc++ you need to install g++-12 and it's dependencies.

To configure MySQL in Ubuntu 18.04 and similar (set root password and other settings) read this guide.

Note: in older versions of Ubuntu like 18.04 you need to install gcc-10 and libboost1.74-dev :

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:mhier/libboost-latest
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install -y gcc-10 g++-10
sudo apt install -y install libboost1.74-dev
