Build dependencies for many platforms are listed here:

https://redmine.darktable.org/projects/darktable/wiki/Building_darktable_20

Requirements

In summary, you'll need:

• gcc, g++, GNU make and cmake
• gtk+-3.0 (and dependencies, e.g. cairo, gdkpixbuf, etc.)
• xml, pugixml, xslt and json libraries
• png, jpeg, tiff, rsvg2 libraries
• sqlite3, exiv2, lensfun, lcms2, curl

Optionally, you might need for special features:

• libcups2 (for the print module)
• gphoto2 (for camera support, recommended)
• SDL, SDL-image and Mesa OpenGL (to build darktable-viewer)
• osm-gps-map for geo tagging view
• lensfun (lens distortion plugin)
• libheif for reading HEIF/HEIC images
• OpenEXR for HDR export
• libsecret for storing passwords
• libcolord-dev libcolord-gtk-dev for colour profile support
• webp and openjpeg libraries for WebP and JPEG 2000 support
• GraphicsMagick library for TIFF-encoded EXIF thumbnails and LDR image format support
• exiftool for creating whitebalance presets

Build

Then, type:

$ ./build.sh --prefix /usr --buildtype Release
$ cd build && make install (or sudo make install)
$ darktable

Optionally, to build translations of the manual pages:

• PO for anything (po4a)

Other used packages (supplied in the source tree):

• RawSpeed
• Lua 5.2 and LuaAutoc (although the local system version can be used instead)

darktable has OpenCL support for graphics cards with:

• at least 1GB graphics RAM (more is better)
• a modern AMD or nVidia chipset
• proprietary drivers from the manufacturer loaded (currently no open opencl drivers support all of the features that darktable needs)

Enjoy!
