The prerequisites of the WasmEdge-Process plug-in is the same as the WasmEdge building environment on the Linux platforms.
To enable the WasmEdge WasmEdge-Process, developers need to building the WasmEdge from source with the cmake option -DWASMEDGE_PLUGIN_PROCESS=On.
cd <path/to/your/wasmedge/source/folder>
cmake -GNinja -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DWASMEDGE_PLUGIN_PROCESS=On
cmake --build build
# For the WasmEdge-Process plugin, you should install this project.
cmake --install build:::note
If the built wasmedge CLI tool cannot find the WasmEdge-Process plug-in, you can set the WASMEDGE_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable to the plug-in installation path (such as /usr/local/lib/wasmedge/, or the built plug-in path build/plugins/wasmedge_process/) to try to fix this issue.
:::
Then you will have an executable wasmedge runtime under /usr/local/bin and the WasmEdge-Process plug-in under /usr/local/lib/wasmedge/libwasmedgePluginWasmEdgeProcess.so after installation.
