SystemDS Install from source
Developing Apache SystemDS on Windows Platform
These instructions will help you build Apache SystemDS from source code, which is the basis for the engine
and algorithms development. The following conventions will be used to refer to directories on your machine:
<USER_HOME> is your home directory.
<JDK_18_HOME> is the root directory for the 1.8 JDK.
<MAVEN_HOME> is the root directory for the Apache Maven source code.
<SYSTEMDS_HOME> is the root directory for the SystemDS source code.
<SPARK_HOME> is the root directory for the Apache Spark source code.
<HADOOP_HOME> is the root directory for
<CUDA_HOME>,<CUDA_PATH> is the top directory for NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit.
Ex. For version 9.0, it would like C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v9.0
Also, make sure that libnvvp, bin folders are accessible to command line.
<CUDNN_PATH> is the path
Ex. Corresponding to the CUDA version, C:\Program Files\cudnn-9.0-windows10-x64-v7.2.1.38\cuda

Getting Apache SystemDS Source Code
SystemDS source code is available from github.com/apache/systemds by either cloning or
downloading a zip file (based on a branch) into <SYSTEMDS_HOME>. The default is the main branch.
git clone https://github.com/apache/systemds systemds
The main branch contains the source code which will be used to create the next major version of Apache SystemDS.
Speed Tip: If the complete repository history isn’t needed then using a shallow clone (git clone --depth 1) will
save significant time.
Building SystemDS source code
IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse is preferred for best developer experience.
Opening the IntelliJ Source Code for Build
Using IntelliJ IDEA **File
Open**, select the <SYSTEMDS_HOME> directory.
If IntelliJ IDEA displays an error about a missing or out of date required plugin (e.g. maven),
enable, upgrade, or install that plugin and restart IntelliJ IDEA.
IntelliJ Build Configuration
JDK version 1.8 (u151 or newer) is required for building and developing for SystemDS developement.
Using IntelliJ IDEA, configure a JDK named “1.8”, pointing to <JDK_18_HOME>.
If not already present, add <JDK_18_HOME>/lib/tools.jar to the Classpath tab
for the 1.8 JDK.
If the Maven Integration plugin is disabled, add the path variable
“MAVEN_REPOSITORY” pointing to <USER_HOME>/.m2/repository directory.
Speed Tip: If you have enough RAM on your computer,
configure the compiler settings
to enable the “Compile independent modules in parallel” option. Also set the “User-local build process VM options” to -Xmx2G.
These changes will greatly reduce the compile time.
Now, selecting the IntelliJ IDEA **Build
Build module ‘systemds’** option starts the maven build.
Speed Tip:_ If the development machine have enough RAM,
configure the compiler settings
to enable the “Compile independent modules in parallel” option.
Building the Source Code
To build SystemDS from source, choose Build | Build Project from the main menu.
OR
To maven build, run the mvn clean package command in <SYSTEMDS_HOME> directory. See the pom.xml file for details.
Testing
To run the SystemDS built from source, choose **Run
Run** from the main menu.
To run tests on the build, apply these setting to the **Run
Edit Configurations…
Defaults
JUnit** configuration tab:
Working dir: <SYSTEMDS_HOME>
