Though, the steps given at official Watchman steps are fairly easy to go by but I have still seen many people, just like me, struggling to install this piece of software.

Thus, I am listing the basic steps required to get watchman installed

Step 1 :

git clone https://github.com/facebook/watchman.git

Step 2 :

cd watchman/

Step 3 :

git checkout v4.9.0 // use v4.9.0

Step 4 :

sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake build-essential python-dev libssl-dev libtool

Step 5 :

./autogen.sh

Step 6 :

./configure

Step 7 :

make

Step 8 :

sudo make install

That’s it. Your watchman has been installed. If you still face any difficulties, please checkout the official instructions at https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install.html#buildinstall
