Install the system dependencies below to build this project by following the instructions in the provided links. You can find instructions on how to set up the appropriate build environment in the Developer Docs.
Prepare your StartOS build environment. In this example we are using Ubuntu 20.04.
- Install docker
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | bash
sudo usermod -aG docker "$USER"
exec sudo su -l $USER
- Set buildx as the default builder
docker buildx install
docker buildx create --use
- Enable cross-arch emulated builds in docker
docker run --privileged --rm linuxkit/binfmt:v0.8
- Install yq
sudo snap install yq
- Install deno
sudo snap install deno
- Install essentials build packages
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential openssl libssl-dev libc6-dev clang libclang-dev ca-certificates
- Install Rust
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
# Choose nr 1 (default install)
source $HOME/.cargo/env
- Build and install start-sdk
git clone https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os.git && \
cd start-os && git submodule update --init --recursive && \
make sdk
Initialize sdk & verify install
start-sdk init
start-sdk --version
Now you are ready to build the dojo-startos package!
Clone the project locally:
git clone https://github.com/Start9Labs/dojo-startos.git
cd dojo-startos
git submodule update --init --recursive
To build the dojo-startos package for all platforms using start-sdk, run the following command:
make
To build the dojo-startos package for a single platform using start-sdk, run:
# for amd64
make x86
or
# for arm64
make arm
Run the following commands to determine successful install:
ℹ️ Change server-name.local to your Start9 server address
start-cli auth login
# Enter your StartOS password
start-cli --host https://server-name.local package install dojo.s9pk
If you already have your start-cli config file setup with a default host, you can install simply by running:
make install
Tip: You can also install the dojo-startos.s9pk using Sideload Service under the System > Manage section.
Go to your StartOS Services page, select Dojo, configure and start the service. Then, verify its interfaces are accessible.
Done!
