2020-03-23 11:24:20 +00:00
- Clone sources: `git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk.git`
2020-06-20 11:58:54 +00:00
- Install Python 3.6+ \
(Windows only: select **'Add Python to PATH'** in installer, and run `pip install colorama` after install)
2020-07-02 11:16:02 +00:00
- Configure to use the JDK bundled in Android Studio:
- macOS: `export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home"`
- Linux: `export PATH="/path/to/androidstudio/jre/bin:$PATH"`
- Windows: Add `C:\Path\To\Android Studio\jre\bin` to environment variable `PATH`
2020-10-17 13:42:34 +00:00
- Set environment variable `ANDROID_SDK_ROOT` to the Android SDK folder (can be found in Android Studio settings)
2020-04-03 10:33:39 +00:00
- Run `./build.py ndk` to let the script download and install NDK for you
2020-06-20 11:58:54 +00:00
- To start building, run `build.py` to see your options. \
For each action, use `-h` to access help (e.g. `./build.py all -h`)
2021-01-24 00:50:55 +00:00
