      3 
      4 Kore (https://kore.io) is an easy to use web application platform for
      5 writing scalable web APIs in C. Its main goals are security, scalability
      6 and allowing rapid development and deployment of such APIs.
      7 
      8 Because of this Kore is an ideal candidate for building robust, scalable and secure web things.

     49 Building Kore
     50 -------------
     51 Clone this repository or get the latest release at [https://kore.io/releases/3.2.0](https://kore.io/releases/3.2.0).
     52 
     53 Requirements
     54 * openssl (1.0.2, 1.1.0 or 1.1.1)
     55   (note: this requirement drops away when building with NOTLS=1 NOHTTP=1)
     56   (note: libressl works as a replacement)
     57 
     58 Requirement for asynchronous curl (optional)
     59 * libcurl
     60 
     61 Requirements for background tasks (optional)
     62 * pthreads
     63 
     64 Requirements for pgsql (optional)
     65 * libpq
     66 
     67 Requirements for python (optional)
     68 * Python 3.6+
     69 
     70 Normal compilation and installation:
     71 
     72 ```
     73 $ cd kore
     74 $ make
     75 # make install
     76 ```
     77 
     78 If you would like to build a specific flavor, you can enable
     79 those by setting a shell environment variable before running **_make_**.
     80 
     81 * CURL=1 (compiles in asynchronous curl support)
     82 * TASKS=1 (compiles in task support)
     83 * PGSQL=1 (compiles in pgsql support)
     84 * DEBUG=1 (enables use of -d for debug)
     85 * NOTLS=1 (compiles Kore without TLS)
     86 * NOHTTP=1 (compiles Kore without HTTP support)
     87 * NOOPT=1 (disable compiler optimizations)
     88 * JSONRPC=1 (compiles in JSONRPC support)
     89 * PYTHON=1 (compiles in the Python support)
     90 
     91 Note that certain build flavors cannot be mixed together and you will just
     92 be met with compilation errors.
     93 
     94 Example applications
     95 -----------------
     96 You can find example applications under **_examples/_**.
     97
