# Building on CentOS 7

This documents step by step on how to compile and put into use the software `mod_tile` and `renderd`.
Please see our [Continous Integration script](../../.github/workflows/build-and-test-centos-7.yml) for more detail.

As `CentOS 7` does not provide any `mapnik`/`mapnik-devel` packages in the official repository (nor are any available from `EPEL`,) it must therefore be built and installed before `mod_tile` can be built. Although `boost-devel` is present in the official repository, the version available there (`1.53.0`) is not in [mapnik's recommended dependency list](https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/blob/v3.0.24/INSTALL.md#depends), so the `boost169-devel` package from `EPEL` should probably be used instead.

```shell
#!/usr/bin/env bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

sudo yum --assumeyes install epel-release

# Update installed packages
sudo yum --assumeyes update

# Install "Development Tools" group
