Step1 : download and install snappy

If you didn't install snappy under /usr or /usr/local, you need to specify the location by --with-snappy as follows.

# download snappy
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/snappy/

# install snappy
tar xvfz snappy-1.1.3.tar.gz
cd snappy-1.1.3
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/snappy
make
make install

Step2 : download and install snzip

# download snzip
https://bintray.com/kubo/generic/snzip,

# install snzip
tar xvfz snzip-1.0.4.tar.gz
cd snzip-1.0.4
./configure --with-snappy=/usr/local/snappy
make
make install

You can use --with-default-format to change the default compression format.

./configure --with-default-format=snzip

[root@test1 ~]# snzip -h
