How to do it...

1. First, we need to sync the latest package lists from the apt repositories with the update command:

$ sudo apt-get update

1. Then, we install the prerequisite packages for building and running the Mesos source code:

$ sudo apt-get install -y tar wget git openjdk-7-
jdk autoconf libtool
build-essential python-dev python-boto libcurl4-
nss-dev libsasl2-dev
libsasl2-modules maven libapr1-dev libsvn-dev
  

1. Next, continue to the Downloading, building, and installing the Mesos source code recipe at the end of this chapter.
