Setting Up Environment

Package Installations

1. Open your web browser and go to Akhilnarang Scripts.

2. Clone the entire repository by running the following command in your terminal:

   git clone https://github.com/akhilnarang/scripts
   

3. Navigate to the cloned repository by running the following command:

   cd scripts
   

4. Depending on your Linux distribution, execute the appropriate command below to set up the necessary dependencies for your build environment:

   • For Ubuntu and Debian-based distributions, run:

     bash setup/android_build_env.sh
     

     (This is the recommended option for beginners to avoid any potential issues.)

   • For Arch-based distributions (e.g., Manjaro), run:

     bash setup/arch-manjaro.sh
     

   • For Fedora, run:

     bash setup/fedora.sh
     

   • For OpenSUSE, run:

     bash setup/opensuse.sh
     

   • For Solus, run:

     bash setup/solus.sh
     

5. Wait patiently while all the dependencies are being installed.

6. Add it to PATH

   • Open .bashrc

   nano .bashrc
   

   • Scroll to the end of the file and type these lines:

   # Export ~/bin
   export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
   

   • Ctrl-O and enter to save, then Ctrl-X to exit nano. Now either logout and login again (or reboot), or source the file:

   source .bashrc
   

Verification

Verify the installation of the build tools by checking their versions:

• Git: Run git --version.
• Make: Run make --version.
• Zip: Run zip --version.
• Curl: Run curl --version.
• GCC (GNU Compiler Collection): Run gcc --version.
• G++ (GNU C++ Compiler): Run g++ --version.

Congratulations! Your build environment is now fully set up and ready to use. Enjoy building!
