In a previous post I wrote how to install Apache thrift on Windows. In this post I will guide you how to install Apache Thrift on Ubuntu 12.04.

Install dependencies using the following command

sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-program-options-dev libevent-dev automake libtool flex bison pkg-config g++ libssl-dev

Download tar.gz archive from the this link, extract it in your home directory using this command
```
tar -xvzf thrift-0.8.0.tar.gz  
```
Change into the Thrift installation directory(the one extracted) and carry on the following command
```
./configure  
```
Run the following command within Thrift installation directory
```
make  
```
After that carry on the following command
```
sudo make install  
```
To verify Thrift has installed properly, use the following command
```
thrift -version   
```
