Build environment

This page assumes you are working on one of the supported Debian or Ubuntu versions. Other Linux distributions should work too, however installation of the build dependencies may vary.

Like with a regular nymea installation, all the required packages can be obtained from the nymea repository. In addition to the regular repository.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key A1A19ED6
sudo apt-add-repository -s "deb http://repository.nymea.io `lsb_release -cs` main"
sudo apt-get update

Now the nymea SDK can be installed with this command:

sudo apt-get install nymea-sdk

This will install nymea and all the development packages. It will also install QtCreator as the recommended IDE.

If you whish to use a different IDE, you may install the SDK with the following command instead:

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends nymea-sdk

In order to build existing plugins additional dependencies might be required. Those vary between plugins. All the required dependencies for building the main nymea-plugins repository can be installed with this command:

sudo apt-get build-dep nymea-plugins
