Magisk

How to build Magisk

Building has been tested on 3 major platforms: macOS, Ubuntu, Windows 10

Environment Requirements

1. A 64-bit machine: cmake for Android is only available in 64-bit
2. Python 3.5+: run build.py script
3. Java Development Kit (JDK) 8: Compile Magisk Manager and sign zips
4. Latest Android SDK: ANDROID_HOME environment variable should point to the Android SDK folder
5. Latest Android NDK: Install NDK via sdkmanager, or via Android SDK Manager in Android Studio
6. (Windows Only) Colorama: Install Colorama with pip install colorama, used for ANSI color codes
7. (Unix only) C compiler: Build zipadjust. Windows users can use the pre-built zipadjust.exe

Instructions and Notes

1. The easiest way to setup a working environment is to open Magisk Manager with Android Studio. The IDE will download required components and construct the environment for you. Don't forget to set ANDROID_HOME environment variable to the SDK path.
2. Run the script with -h as an argument to see the built-in help message. The -h option also works for each supported actions, e.g. ./build.py binary -h
3. By default, the script will build binaries and Magisk Manager in debug mode. If you want to build Magisk Manager in release mode (through the flag --release), you will need to place your Java Keystore file at release_signature.jks to sign Magisk Manager's APK.
