+#### Ubuntu Cosmic 18.10
+
+ccls 0.20181024.1 and later require LLVM 7, which is available on Ubuntu 18.10.
+You can compile ccls against the system-installed LLVM instead needing to download LLVM separately.
+
+Download additional packages:
+
+```shell
+sudo apt install -y clang libclang-dev libncurses-dev libtinfo5 llvm-dev
+```
+
+which should install their versioned counterparks (e.g. clang-7, libclang-7-dev, etc).
+
+Configure LLVM as so:
+
+```shell
+cmake -H. -Bbuild \
+    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
+    -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/lib/llvm-7 \
+    -DLLVM_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/lib/llvm-7/include \
+    -DLLVM_BUILD_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/llvm-7/ \
+    -DLLVM_ENABLE_RTTI=on
+```
+
+Notice that `LLVM_INCLUDE_DIR` points to /usr/lib, and `LLVM_BUILD_INCLUDE` points to /usr/include.
+
+Build as normal. You'll have a ccls library that will be compiled against the sytem-installed LLVM, and use the system clang resource directory as well.

 To build **ccls** on Void Linux with system Clang+LLVM: `cmake -H. -BRelease -DLLVM_ENABLE_RTTI=on`
