## Introduction
Magisk is a suite of open source tools for customizing Android, supporting devices higher than Android 4.2. It covers fundamental parts of Android customization: root, boot scripts, SELinux patches, AVB2.0 / dm-verity / forceencrypt removals etc.
Here are some feature highlights:
- **MagiskSU**: Provide root access to your device
- **Magisk Modules**: Modify read-only partitions by installing modules
- **MagiskHide**: Hide Magisk from root detections / system integrity checks

## Building Magisk
- Clone sources: `git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk.git`
- Magisk builds on any OS Android Studio supports. Install Android Studio and import the project.
- Python 3.6+. For Windows only, install Colorama with `pip install colorama` in admin shell.
- 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`
- Set environment variable `ANDROID_HOME` to the Android SDK folder
- Download / clone [FrankeNDK](https://github.com/topjohnwu/FrankeNDK) and set environment variable `ANDROID_NDK_HOME` to the folder
- Set configurations in `config.prop`. A sample file `config.prop.sample` is provided.
- Run `build.py` to see help messages. For each supported actions, use `-h` to access help (e.g. `./build.py all -h`)
- By default, the script builds everything in debug mode. If you want to build Magisk Manager in release mode (with the `-r, --release` flag), you need a Java Keystore (only `JKS` format is supported) to sign APKs and zips. For more information, check [Google's Documentation](https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing.html#generate-key).
