Development Environment Setup on Linux
######################################
.. important::
This section only describes OS-specific setup instructions; it is the first step in the
complete Zephyr :ref:`getting_started`.
This section describes how to set up a Zephyr development environment on the
following Linux distributions:
* Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or 18.04 LTS 64-bit
* Fedora 28 64-bit
* Clear Linux
* Arch Linux
Where needed, instructions are given which only apply to specific Linux
distributions.
Update Your Operating System
****************************
Ensure your host system is up to date before proceeding.
On Ubuntu:
.. code-block:: console
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
On Fedora:
.. code-block:: console
sudo dnf upgrade
Note that having a newer version available for an installed package
(as reported by ``dnf check-update``) does not imply a subsequent
``dnf upgrade`` will install it, because it must also ensure dependencies
and other restrictions are satisfied.
On Clear Linux:
.. code-block:: console
sudo swupd update
On Arch Linux:
.. code-block:: console
sudo pacman -Syu
.. _linux_requirements:
Install Requirements and Dependencies
*************************************
.. NOTE FOR DOCS AUTHORS: DO NOT PUT DOCUMENTATION BUILD DEPENDENCIES HERE.
This section is for dependencies to build Zephyr binaries, *NOT* this
documentation. If you need to add a dependency only required for building
the docs, add it to doc/README.rst. (This change was made following the
introduction of LaTeX->PDF support for the docs, as the texlive footprint is
massive and not needed by users not building PDF documentation.)
Install the following packages using your system's package manager. Note that
both Ninja and Make are installed; you may prefer only to install one.
On Ubuntu:
.. code-block:: console
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends git cmake ninja-build gperf \
ccache dfu-util device-tree-compiler wget \
python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel xz-utils file make gcc \
gcc-multilib
On Fedora:
.. code-block:: console
sudo dnf group install "Development Tools" "C Development Tools and Libraries"
dnf install git cmake ninja-build gperf ccache dfu-util dtc wget \
python3-pip xz file glibc-devel.i686 libstdc++-devel.i686
On Clear Linux:
.. code-block:: console
sudo swupd bundle-add c-basic dev-utils dfu-util dtc \
os-core-dev python-basic python3-basic
On Arch:
.. code-block:: console
sudo pacman -S git cmake ninja gperf ccache dfu-util dtc wget \
python-pip python-setuptools python-wheel xz file make
CMake version 3.8.2 or higher is required. Check what version you have using
``cmake --version``; if you have an older version, check the backports or
install a more recent version manually. For example, to install version
3.8.2 from the CMake website directly in ~/cmake::
mkdir $HOME/cmake && cd $HOME/cmake
wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.8/cmake-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64.sh
yes | sh cmake-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64.sh | cat
echo "export PATH=$PWD/cmake-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64/bin:\$PATH" >> $HOME/.zephyrrc
cmake --version
.. _zephyr_sdk:
Install the Zephyr Software Development Kit (SDK)
*************************************************
.. note::
Use of the Zephyr SDK is optional, but recommended. Some of the requirements
and dependencies in the previous section are only needed for installing the
SDK.
Zephyr's :abbr:`SDK (Software Development Kit)` contains all necessary tools
and cross-compilers needed to build Zephyr on all supported
architectures. Additionally, it includes host tools such as custom QEMU binaries
and a host compiler for building host tools if necessary. The SDK supports the
following target architectures:
* :abbr:`X86 (Intel Architecture 32 bits)`
* :abbr:`X86 IAMCU ABI (Intel Architecture 32 bits IAMCU ABI)`
* :abbr:`Arm (Advanced RISC Machine)`
* :abbr:`ARC (Argonaut RISC Core)`
* :abbr:`Nios II`
* :abbr:`Xtensa`
* :abbr:`RISC-V`
Follow these steps to install the SDK on your Linux host system.
#. Download the latest SDK as a self-extracting installation binary:
.. code-block:: console
wget https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/meta-zephyr-sdk/releases/download/0.9.5/zephyr-sdk-0.9.5-setup.run
(You can change *0.9.5* to another version if needed; the `Zephyr
Downloads`_ page contains all available SDK releases.)
#. Run the installation binary:
.. code-block:: console
cd <sdk download directory>
sh zephyr-sdk-0.9.5-setup.run
.. important::
If this fails, make sure Zephyr's dependencies were installed
as described in `Install Requirements and Dependencies`_.
#. Follow the installation instructions on the screen. The toolchain's
default installation location is :file:`/opt/zephyr-sdk/`, but it
is recommended to install the SDK under your home directory instead.
To install the SDK in the default location, you need to run the
installation binary as root.
#. To use the Zephyr SDK, export the following environment variables and
use the target location where SDK was installed:
.. code-block:: console
export ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT=zephyr
export ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR=<sdk installation directory>
.. _sdkless_builds:
Building on Linux without the Zephyr SDK
****************************************
The Zephyr SDK is provided for convenience and ease of use. It provides
toolchains for all Zephyr target architectures, and does not require any extra
flags when building applications or running tests. In addition to
cross-compilers, the Zephyr SDK also provides prebuilt host tools. It is,
however, possible to build without the SDK's toolchain by using another
toolchain as as described in the main :ref:`getting_started` document.
As already noted above, the SDK also includes prebuilt host tools. To use the
SDK's prebuilt host tools with a toolchain from another source, keep the
:envvar:`ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR` environment variable set to the Zephyr SDK
installation directory. To build without the Zephyr SDK's prebuilt host tools,
the :envvar:`ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR` environment variable must be unset before
you run ``source zephyr-env.sh`` later on in the Getting Started Guide.
To make sure this variable is unset, run:
.. code-block:: console
unset ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR
