Install required packages on the host¶

The initial version of KaarPux is build using a host system. The host system is used to build a basic tool-chain used to bootstrap KaarPux.

Building KaarPux should work on x86_64 (64-bit) AMD/Intel platforms.

Any recent mainstream Linux distribution should be usable on the host system.

Certain packages and package versions are needed on the host system to build KaarPux:

• The packages listed in Linux From Scratch: Host System Requirements
• The perl module YAML::Tiny (YAML::Tiny homepage)
• The GNU parallel application (GNU parallel homepage) at least version 20130822

To install the required packages on your host system, you can try to run:

master/bin/kx_pkgs4bootstrap

If this does not work, please install the packages mentioned above manually.

awk -W version | head -1
