Overview

Building and installing from the Source Code usually requires significantly more time and attention to detail to get things like prerequisite software, C compiler software, and versions right. It provides virtually no more control over runtime configuration than the Standard Installation. This installation method is only recommended for advanced system administrators. We highly recommend that most customers use the Standard Installation. It's much faster and easier.
