**Redox** is an operating system written in pure Rust, designed to be secure and free. The website can be found at https://www.redox-os.org.
|
|
|
|
Documentation can be found [here](https://doc.redox-os.org/doc/std/).
|
|
|
|
Please make sure you use the **latest nightly** of `rustc` before building (for more troubleshooting, see ["Help! Redox won't compile!"](#compile-help)).

## <a name="compile-help"> Help! Redox won't compile! </a>
|
|
|
|
Sometimes things go wrong when compiling. Try the following before opening an issue:
|
|
|
|
1. Run `make clean`.
|
|
2. Run `git clean -X -f -d`.
|
|
3. Make sure you have **the latest version of Rust nightly!** ([rustup.rs](https://www.rustup.rs) is recommended for managing Rust versions).
|
|
4. Update **GNU Make**, **NASM** and **QEMU/VirtualBox**.
|
|
5. Pull the upstream master branch (`git remote add upstream git@github.com:redox-os/redox.git; git pull upstream master`).
|
|
6. Update submodules (`git submodule update --recursive --init`).
|
|
|
|
and then rebuild!

|
|
|
|
Redox is big (even compressed)! So cloning Redox takes a lot of bandwidth, and (depending on your data plan) can be costly, so clone at your own risk!
|
|
|
|
### <a name="quick-setup" /> Quick Setup </a>
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd path/to/your/projects/folder/
|
|
|
|
# Run bootstrap setup
|
|
$ curl -sf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redox-os/redox/master/bootstrap.sh -o bootstrap.sh && bash -e bootstrap.sh
|
|
|
|
# Build Redox
|
|
$ make all
|
|
|
|
# Launch using QEMU
|
|
$ make qemu
|
|
# Launch using QEMU without using KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine). Try if QEMU gives an error.
|
|
$ make qemu kvm=no
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### QEMU with KVM
|
|
|
|
To use QEMU with KVM (kernel-based virtual Machine), which is faster than without KVM, you need a CPU with Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) or AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) support. Most systems have this disabled in the BIOS by default, so you may need to reboot and enable the feature in the BIOS.

|
|
|
### <a name="manual-setup"> Manual Setup </a>
|
|
|
|
To manually clone, build and run Redox using a Linux host, run the following commands (with exceptions, be sure to read the comments):
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd path/to/your/projects/folder/
|
|
|
|
# HTTPS
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/redox-os/redox.git --origin upstream --recursive
|
|
# SSH
|
|
$ git clone git@github.com:redox-os/redox.git --origin upstream --recursive
|
|
|
|
$ cd redox/
|
|
|
|
# Install/update dependencies
|
|
$ sudo <your package manager> install make nasm qemu libfuse-dev
|
|
|
|
# Install rustup.rs
|
|
$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
|
|
|
|
# Set override toolchain to nightly build
|
|
$ rustup override set nightly
|
|
|
|
# For successive builds start here. If this is your first build, just continue
|
|
|
|
# Update git submodules
|
|
$ git submodule update --recursive --init
|
|
|
|
# Build Redox
|
|
$ make all
|
|
|
|
# Launch using QEMU
|
|
$ make qemu
|
|
# Launch using QEMU without using KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine). Try if QEMU gives an error.
|
|
$ make qemu kvm=no
|
|
```
