Prebuilt Packages on Mint 16

Josh Watzman edited this page May 7, 2015 · 9 revisions

Support for Mint ended with the HHVM 3.6 LTS. Nightly builds are no longer available, nor are versions newer than 3.6.

To install prebuilt packages for Linux Mint 16 (amd64):

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0x5a16e7281be7a449
echo deb http://dl.hhvm.com/mint petra main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hhvm.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install hhvm
# If you are getting segfaults
sudo apt-get install hhvm-dbg

If this repo is slow for you, choose a different Mirror.


If you get the following error when trying to run hhvm:

hhvm: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_program_options.so.1.49.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

you may be able to fix it by simply installing the required packages (hhvm package incorrectly installs libboost 1.53):

sudo apt-get install libboost-filesystem1.49.0 libboost-program-options1.49.0 libboost-regex1.49.0 libboost-thread1.49.0
