Download and build libuv:

Libuv is a multi-platform asynchronous IO library that is used by the KestrelHttpServer that we will use to host our web applications. To build libuv will require gcc ,the GNU Compiler Collection, the GNU libtool, a generic library support script that hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent interface, GNU make, which controls the generation of executables from the program's source files and automake, for automatically generating Makefile.in files compliant with the GNU Coding Standards .

Note: You will need to ensure that libuv.so is available as libuv.so.1. I use a symbolic link below to achieve the mapping.

$ sudo yum install gcc
$ sudo yum install make $ sudo yum install automake $ sudo yum install libtool $ git clone https://github.com/libuv/libuv.git $ cd libuv $ sh autogen.sh $ ./configure $ make $ make check $ sudo make install
$ ldconfig
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libuv.so /usr/lib64/libuv.so.1

Test the install by running dnvm:

$ dnvm
