Prerequisites
=== Prerequisites ===
 
The following prerequisites are required and only need to be done once. Please note that the DIVELK virtual machine is already configured to match all the requirements for using the Yocto build system.
Some generic development tools are required on the host Linux machine:
* git
* curl
* build-essential
* diffstat
* texinfo
* gawk
* chrpath
* ia32-libs (if the host machine is running a 64-bit OS)
* python-m2crypto
 
These packages can be installed with the following command:
<pre>
sudo apt-get install git build-essential diffstat texinfo gawk chrpath ia32-libs python-m2crypto
</pre>
 
It is also recommended to switch the system shell from Ubuntu's standard dash to more universal bash:
<pre>
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
</pre>
