+### Thrift (for Ubuntu 24.04)
+CodeCompass needs [Thrift](https://thrift.apache.org/) which provides Remote
+Procedure Call (RPC) between the server and the client. A suitable version of
+Thrift is, unfortunately, not part of the official Ubuntu repositories for
+this version (only a newer version is available), so you should download and 
+build from source.
+
+Thrift can generate stubs for many programming languages. The configure
+script looks at the development environment and if it finds the environment
+for a given language then it'll use it. For example in the previous step npm
+was installed which requires NodeJS. If NodeJS can be found on your machine
+then the corresponding stub will also compile. If you don't need it then you
+can turn it off: `./configure --without-nodejs`.
+
+In certain cases, installation may fail if development libraries for
+languages are not installed on the target machine. E.g. if Python is
+installed but the Python development headers are not, Thrift will unable to
+install. Python, PHP and such other Thrift builds are NOT required by
+CodeCompass, and can significantly increase compile time so it is advised to
+avoid using them if it's not necessary.
+
+```bash
+# Download and uncompress Thrift:
+wget "http://www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors/mirrors.cgi?action=download&filename=thrift/0.16.0/thrift-0.16.0.tar.gz" \

 ### Node.js and NPM
 Make sure you are using at least version 18.17 of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/).
