Installation Guide
==================
This is a guide for building the LightGBM Command Line Interface (CLI). If you want to build the Python-package or R-package please refer to `Python-package`_ and `R-package`_ folders respectively.
All instructions below are aimed at compiling the 64-bit version of LightGBM.
It is worth compiling the 32-bit version only in very rare special cases involving environmental limitations.
The 32-bit version is slow and untested, so use it at your own risk and don't forget to adjust some of the commands below when installing.
By default, instructions below will use **VS Build Tools** or **make** tool to compile the code.
It it possible to use `Ninja`_ tool instead of make on all platforms, but VS Build Tools cannot be replaced with Ninja.
You can add ``-G Ninja`` to CMake flags to use Ninja.
By default, instructions below will produce a shared library file and an executable file with command-line interface.
You can add ``-DBUILD_CLI=OFF`` to CMake flags to disable the executable compilation.
If you need to build a static library instead of a shared one, you can add ``-DBUILD_STATIC_LIB=ON`` to CMake flags.
By default, instructions below will place header files into system-wide folder.
You can add ``-DINSTALL_HEADERS=OFF`` to CMake flags to disable headers installation.
By default, on macOS, CMake is looking into Homebrew standard folders for finding dependencies (e.g. OpenMP).
You can add ``-DUSE_HOMEBREW_FALLBACK=OFF`` to CMake flags to disable this behaviour.
Users who want to perform benchmarking can make LightGBM output time costs for different internal routines by adding ``-DUSE_TIMETAG=ON`` to CMake flags.
It is possible to build LightGBM in debug mode. In this mode all compiler optimizations are disabled and LightGBM performs more checks internally. To enable debug mode you can add ``-DUSE_DEBUG=ON`` to CMake flags or choose ``Debug_*`` configuration (e.g. ``Debug_DLL``, ``Debug_mpi``) in Visual Studio depending on how you are building LightGBM.

Build GPU Version
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Linux
^^^^^
On Linux a GPU version of LightGBM (``device_type=gpu``) can be built using **OpenCL**, **Boost**, **CMake** and **gcc** or **Clang**.
The following dependencies should be installed before compilation:
- **OpenCL** 1.2 headers and libraries, which is usually provided by GPU manufacture.
The generic OpenCL ICD packages (for example, Debian package ``ocl-icd-libopencl1`` and ``ocl-icd-opencl-dev``) can also be used.
- **libboost** 1.56 or later (1.61 or later is recommended).
We use Boost.Compute as the interface to GPU, which is part of the Boost library since version 1.61. However, since we include the source code of Boost.Compute as a submodule, we only require the host has Boost 1.56 or later installed. We also use Boost.Align for memory allocation. Boost.Compute requires Boost.System and Boost.Filesystem to store offline kernel cache.
The following Debian packages should provide necessary Boost libraries: ``libboost-dev``, ``libboost-system-dev``, ``libboost-filesystem-dev``.
- **CMake**
To build LightGBM GPU version, run the following commands:
.. code:: sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM
cd LightGBM
cmake -B build -S . -DUSE_GPU=1
# if you have installed NVIDIA CUDA to a customized location, you should specify paths to OpenCL headers and library like the following:
# cmake -B build -S . -DUSE_GPU=1 -DOpenCL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/cuda/lib64/libOpenCL.so -DOpenCL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/cuda/include/

The `original GPU version <#build-gpu-version>`__ of LightGBM (``device_type=gpu``) is based on OpenCL.
The CUDA-based build (``device_type=cuda``) is a separate implementation.
The CUDA-based version (``device_type=cuda``) is a separate implementation.
Use this version in Linux environments with an NVIDIA GPU with compute capability 6.0 or higher.
Windows
^^^^^^^
The CUDA version is not supported on Windows.
Use the `GPU version <#build-gpu-version>`__ (``device_type=gpu``) for GPU acceleration on Windows.
Linux
^^^^^
On Linux a CUDA version of LightGBM can be built using **CUDA**, **CMake** and **gcc** or **Clang**.
On Linux, a CUDA version of LightGBM can be built using
- **CMake**, **gcc** and **CUDA**;
- **CMake**, **Clang** and **CUDA**.
Please refer to `this detailed guide`_ for **CUDA** libraries installation.
The following dependencies should be installed before compilation:
After compilation the executable and ``.so`` files will be in ``LightGBM/`` folder.
- **CUDA** 11.0 or later libraries. Please refer to `this detailed guide`_. Pay great attention to the minimum required versions of host compilers listed in the table from that guide and use only recommended versions of compilers.
gcc
***
- **CMake**
1. Install `CMake`_, **gcc** and **CUDA**.
To build LightGBM CUDA version, run the following commands:
2. Run the following commands:
.. code:: sh
.. code:: sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM
cd LightGBM
cmake -B build -S . -DUSE_CUDA=1
cmake -B build -S . -DUSE_CUDA=ON
cmake --build build -j4
**Note**: In some rare cases you may need to install OpenMP runtime library separately (use your package manager and search for ``lib[g|i]omp`` for doing this).
Clang
*****
1. Install `CMake`_, **Clang**, **OpenMP** and **CUDA**.
2. Run the following commands:
.. code:: sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM
cd LightGBM
export CXX=clang++-14 CC=clang-14 # replace "14" with version of Clang installed on your machine
cmake -B build -S . -DUSE_CUDA=ON
cmake --build build -j4
macOS
^^^^^
The CUDA version is not supported on macOS.
Windows
^^^^^^^
The CUDA version is not supported on Windows.
Use the GPU version (``device_type=gpu``) for GPU acceleration on Windows.
Build Java Wrapper
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using the following instructions you can generate a JAR file containing the LightGBM `C API <./Development-Guide.rst#c-api>`__ wrapped by **SWIG**.
After compilation the ``.jar`` file will be in ``LightGBM/build`` folder.
Windows
^^^^^^^
On Windows a Java wrapper of LightGBM can be built using **Java**, **SWIG**, **CMake** and **VS Build Tools** or **MinGW**.
On Windows, a Java wrapper of LightGBM can be built using
- **Java**, **SWIG**, **CMake** and **VS Build Tools**;
