Install dependencies required for the build process.To build dependencies for the current architecture & OS, move into the depends subdirectory and: If you are building from self-compiled dependencies, skip the “install required dependencies” in the Bitcoin Core build-unix.md instructions. On the other hand, the build process for dependencies adds to the total build time considerably. If you do self-build dependencies, you avoid all incompatibility hassles. I’ve also had problems in the past with incompatible Boost library versions - so if you’re building Bitcoin on a development machine, it might be better to build dependencies. If you choose to do this, you’ll need to pass the -with-incompatible-bdb option to the configure script. This means that if you use the Ubuntu package manager to install BerkeleyDB (using sudo apt install libdb-dev libdb++-dev) the wallet that you generate will be incompatible with wallets generated by the distributed binaries. This is incompatible with the version of BerkeleyDB distributed by Ubuntu - which is likely to be version 5.1 or greater. The second option may be best if you need to ensure compatibility with wallets generated by the distributed binaries, which are compiled with BerkeleyDB version 4.8. Build them yourself and reference them appropriately during the Bitcoin Core build process.

Install dependencies system-wide using the Ubuntu package management system - see the following note for a caveat.Bitcoin Core has a number of dependencies - it relies on other pieces of software to work and these must be available when compiling Bitcoin Core binaries.
