Installing LLDB

Linux

On Debian-derived distros (e.g. Ubuntu), run sudo apt-get install python-lldb-x.y, where x.y is the LLDB version.
See this page for installing nightlies.

Note: Some distros install LLDB with a versioned name, e.g. lldb-4.0. In this case you will need to configure LLDB executable name via Workspace Configuration.

MacOS

• Download and install XCode.
• Install XCode Command Line Tools by running xcode-select --install

Windows

• Download and install LLVM for Windows.
• Download and install Python 3.5.x. If you've installed a 64-bit LLVM, you will need a 64-bit Python as well.
• Make sure that both LLDB and Python install directories are on the PATH.

Be sure to read the Fine Manual!
