# Linux setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This guide has been tested on Ubuntu, Arch Linux and Raspberry Pi OS running on a raspberry pi 4.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 1. Install a recent version of rust
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
agb unfortunately relies on a few nightly rust features, so you need to ensure you have that installed.
|
||
|
|
Firstly, ensure that you have **rustup** installed which you can do by following the instructions on the [rust website](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can update rustup with `rustup update` if you have already installed it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 2. arm-none-eabi
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We need this installed in order to be able to assemble the small amount of assembly in agb, and to do the final linking.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* On Debian and derivatives (like Ubuntu): `sudo apt install binutils-arm-non-eabi`
|
||
|
|
* On Arch Linux and derivatives: `pacman -S arm-none-eabi-binutils`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 3. git
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The source code for the game is hosted on github, so you will need git installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* On Debian and derivatives (like Ubuntu): `sudo apt install git`
|
||
|
|
* On Arch Linux and derivatives: `pacman -S git`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 4. gbafix
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to be able to play on real hardware or on some emulators, you may need to install 'gbafix'.
|
||
|
|
The rust implementation can be installed very easily using `cargo install gbafix`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure that the Cargo bin directory is in your `PATH` as we'll need to use it later.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That is all you need to get started.
|
||
|
|
You can now move on to 'building the game'.
