Apama does not support Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux). This option should be turned off on Linux for Apama to run.

To build the samples and develop applications using the C/C++ API, development tools that are not present in the default installation of the supported platforms must be installed. On all supported Linux platforms, the GCC-C++ package and all its dependencies must be installed. These are typically provided on the installation media as part of your distribution.

If you intend to use the compiled runtime, ensure that the binutils package is installed.

Note that the performance of latency-critical applications can be significantly impacted by the choice of the file system where the correlator writes its log files and/or persistence database. File systems such as ext3, ext4, NFS, ZFS and GFS2 can have surprisingly poor worst-case latency especially when the system is loaded, so for latency-critical applications we would recommend use of XFS where possible.
