Getting started

Use this section to get a local Makar checkout building, booting, and testing.

Page What it covers
Building and running Host dependencies, run.sh command grammar, headless and GUI modes, test targets, build products, and troubleshooting.
WSL2 Notes for building and running under Windows Subsystem for Linux.

The shortest useful path on a Linux host is:

./run.sh iso build
./run.sh iso boot
./run.sh ktest
./run.sh kbtest
./run.sh gui all-tests

./run.sh with no arguments prints the same command surface as Building and running, including kbtest and kbtest gui.
