Install Linux Host Dependencies
###############################
Documentation is available for these Linux distributions:
* Ubuntu
* Fedora
* Clear Linux
* Arch Linux
For distributions that are not based on rolling releases, some of the
requirements and dependencies may not be met by your package manager. In that
case please follow the additional instructions that are provided to find
software from sources other than the package manager.
.. note:: If you're working behind a corporate firewall, you'll likely
need to configure a proxy for accessing the internet, if you haven't
done so already. While some tools use the environment variables
``http_proxy`` and ``https_proxy`` to get their proxy settings, some
use their own configuration files, most notably ``apt`` and
``git``.

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.)
Note that both Ninja and Make are installed with these instructions; you only
need one.

The Clear Linux focus is on *native* performance and security and not
cross-compilation. For that reason it uniquely exports by default to the
:ref:`environment <env_vars>` of all users a list of compiler and linker
flags. Zephyr's CMake build system will either warn or fail because of
these. To clear the C/C++ flags among these and fix the Zephyr build, run
the following command as root then log out and back in:
.. code-block:: console
echo 'unset CFLAGS CXXFLAGS' >> /etc/profile.d/unset_cflags.sh
Note this command unsets the C/C++ flags for *all users on the
system*. Each Linux distribution has a unique, relatively complex and
potentially evolving sequence of bash initialization files sourcing each
other and Clear Linux is no exception. If you need a more flexible
solution, start by looking at the logic in
``/usr/share/defaults/etc/profile``.

CMake
=====
CMake version 3.13.1 or higher is required. Check what version you have by
using ``cmake --version``. If you have an older version, there are several ways
of obtaining a more recent one:
* On Ubuntu, you can follow the instructions for adding the
`kitware third-party apt repository <https://apt.kitware.com/>`_
to get an updated version of cmake using apt.
* Download and install a packaged cmake from the CMake project site.
(Note this won't uninstall the previous version of cmake.)
.. code-block:: console
cd ~
wget https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.15.3/cmake-3.15.3-Linux-x86_64.sh
chmod +x cmake-3.15.3-Linux-x86_64.sh
sudo ./cmake-3.15.3-Linux-x86_64.sh --skip-license --prefix=/usr/local
hash -r
The ``hash -r`` command may be necessary if the installation script
put cmake into a new location on your PATH.
* Download and install from the pre-built binaries provided by the CMake
project itself in the `CMake Downloads`_ page.
For example, to install version 3.13.1 in :file:`~/bin/cmake`:
.. code-block:: console
mkdir $HOME/bin/cmake && cd $HOME/bin/cmake
wget https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.13.1/cmake-3.13.1-Linux-x86_64.sh
yes | sh cmake-3.13.1-Linux-x86_64.sh | cat
echo "export PATH=$PWD/cmake-3.13.1-Linux-x86_64/bin:\$PATH" >> $HOME/.zephyrrc
* Use ``pip3``:
.. code-block:: console
pip3 install --user cmake
Note this won't uninstall the previous version of cmake and will
install the new cmake into your ~/.local/bin folder so
you'll need to add ~/.local/bin to your PATH. (See :ref:`python-pip`
for details.)
* Check your distribution's beta or unstable release package library for an
update.
* On Ubuntu you can also use snap to get the latest version available:
.. code-block:: console
sudo snap install cmake
After updating cmake, verify that the newly installed cmake is found
using ``cmake --version``.
You might also want to uninstall the CMake provided by your package manager to
avoid conflicts. (Use ``whereis cmake`` to find other installed
versions.)
DTC (Device Tree Compiler)
==========================
A recent DTC version (1.4.6 or higher) is required. Check what version you
have by using ``dtc --version``. If you have an older version, either install a
more recent one by building from source, or use the one that is bundled in
the :ref:`Zephyr SDK <zephyr_sdk>` by installing it.
Python
======
Python 3.6 or later is required. Check what version you have by using ``python3
--version``.
If you have an older version, you will need to install a more recent Python 3.
You can build from source, or use a backport from your distribution's package
manager channels if one is available. Isolating this Python in a virtual
environment is recommended to avoid interfering with your system Python.

Install the Zephyr Software Development Kit (SDK)
*************************************************
Use of the Zephyr SDK is optional, but recommended. Some of the dependencies
installed above are only needed for installing the SDK.
Zephyr's :abbr:`SDK (Software Development Kit)` contains all necessary tools to
build Zephyr on all supported architectures. Additionally, it includes host
tools such as custom QEMU binaries and a host compiler. The SDK supports the
following target architectures:
* :abbr:`X86 (Intel Architecture 32 bits)`
* :abbr:`Arm (Advanced RISC Machine)`
* :abbr:`ARC (Argonaut RISC Core)`
* :abbr:`Nios II`
* :abbr:`Xtensa`
* :abbr:`RISC-V`
Follow these steps to install the Zephyr SDK:
#. Download the `latest SDK
<https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/sdk-ng/releases>`_ as a
self-extracting installation binary:
.. code-block:: console
wget https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/sdk-ng/releases/download/v0.11.3/zephyr-sdk-0.11.3-setup.run
(You can change *0.11.3* to another version if needed; the `Zephyr
Downloads`_ page contains all available SDK releases.)
#. Run the installation binary, installing the SDK at
:file:`~/zephyr-sdk-0.11.3`:
.. code-block:: console
cd <sdk download directory>
chmod +x zephyr-sdk-0.11.3-setup.run
./zephyr-sdk-0.11.3-setup.run -- -d ~/zephyr-sdk-0.11.3
You can pick another directory if you want. If this fails, make sure
Zephyr's dependencies were installed as described in `Install Requirements
and Dependencies`_.
If you ever want to uninstall the SDK, just remove the directory where you
installed it.
.. note::
It is recommended to install the Zephyr SDK at one of the following locations:
* ``$HOME/zephyr-sdk[-x.y.z]``
* ``$HOME/.local/zephyr-sdk[-x.y.z]``
* ``$HOME/.local/opt/zephyr-sdk[-x.y.z]``
* ``$HOME/bin/zephyr-sdk[-x.y.z]``
* ``/opt/zephyr-sdk[-x.y.z]``
* ``/usr/zephyr-sdk[-x.y.z]``
* ``/usr/local/zephyr-sdk[-x.y.z]``
where ``[-x.y.z]`` is optional text, and can be any text, for example ``-0.11.3``.
If you install the Zephyr SDK outside any of those locations, then it is
required to register the Zephyr SDK in the CMake package registry during
installation or set :envvar:`ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR` to point to the Zephyr
SDK installation folder.
:envvar:`ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR` can also be used for pointing to a folder
containing multiple Zephyr SDKs, allowing for automatic toolchain selection,
for example: ``ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR=/company/tools``
* ``/company/tools/zephyr-sdk-0.11.3``
* ``/company/tools/zephyr-sdk-a.b.c``
* ``/company/tools/zephyr-sdk-x.y.z``
this allow Zephyr to pick the right toolchain, while allowing multiple Zephyr
SDKs to be grouped together at a custom location.
.. _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, you must set the
:envvar:`ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR` environment variable 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.
To make sure this variable is unset, run:
.. code-block:: console
unset ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR
