# Building StartOS
⚠️ The commands given assume a Debian or Ubuntu-based environment. _Building in
a VM is NOT yet supported_ ⚠️
## Prerequisites
1. Install dependencies
- Avahi
- `sudo apt install -y avahi-daemon`
- Installed by default on most Debian systems - https://avahi.org
- Build Essentials (needed to run `make`)
- `sudo apt install -y build-essential`
- Docker
- `curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh`
- https://docs.docker.com/get-docker
- Add your user to the docker group: `sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER`
- Reload user environment `exec sudo su -l $USER`
- Prepare Docker environment
- Setup buildx (https://docs.docker.com/buildx/working-with-buildx/)
- Create a builder: `docker buildx create --use`
- Add multi-arch build ability:
`docker run --rm --privileged linuxkit/binfmt:v0.8`
- Node Version 12+
- snap: `sudo snap install node`
- [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#installing-and-updating):
`nvm install --lts`
- https://nodejs.org/en/docs
- NPM Version 7+
- apt: `sudo apt install -y npm`

2. Clone the latest repo with required submodules
> :information_source: You chan check latest available version
> [here](https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os/releases)
```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os.git --branch latest
```
## Build Raspberry Pi Image
```
cd start-os
make embassyos-raspi.img ARCH=aarch64
```
## Flash
Flash the resulting `embassyos-raspi.img` to your SD Card
We recommend [Balena Etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/)
## Setup
Visit http://start.local from any web browser - We recommend
[Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/browsers)
Enter your product key. This is generated during the build process and can be
found in `product_key.txt`, located in the root directory.
## Troubleshooting
1. I just flashed my SD card, fired up StartOS, bootup sounds and all, but my
browser is saying "Unable to connect" with start.local.
- Try doing a hard refresh on your browser, or opening the url in a
private/incognito window. If you've ran an instance of StartOS before,
sometimes you can have a stale cache that will block you from navigating to
the page.
2. Flashing the image isn't working with balenaEtcher. I'm getting
`Cannot read property 'message' of null` when I try.
- The latest versions of Balena may not flash properly. This version here:
https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/tag/v1.5.122 should work
properly.
3. Startup isn't working properly and I'm curious as to why. How can I view logs
regarding startup for debugging?
- Find the IP of your device
- Run `nc <ip> 8080` and it will print the logs
4. I need to ssh into my server to fix something, but I cannot get to the
console to add ssh keys normally.
- During the Build step, instead of running just
`make embassyos-raspi.img ARCH=aarch64` run
`ENVIRONMENT=dev make embassyos-raspi.img ARCH=aarch64`. Flash like normal,
and insert into your server. Boot up StartOS, then on another computer on
the same network, ssh into the the server with the username `start9` password
`embassy`.
4. I need to reset my password, how can I do that?
- You will need to reflash your device. Select "Use Existing Drive" once you are
in setup, and it will prompt you to set a new password.
