## Compiling
Make sure you have the C toolchain, OpenSSL and its include files, and libexpat
installed.
If building from the repository source you also need flex and bison installed.
Unbound can be compiled and installed using:
2019-05-01 10:28:24 +00:00
```
./configure && make && make install
```
You can use libevent if you want. libevent is useful when using many (10000)
outgoing ports. By default max 256 ports are opened at the same time and the
builtin alternative is equally capable and a little faster.
Use the `--with-libevent` configure option to compile Unbound with libevent

support.

will be installed and are available on the Unbound
