# How to build an image or a kernel?
|
|
|
|
Supported build environment is **Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 x64** ([minimal iso image](http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso)).
|
|
|
|
- guest inside a [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) or other virtualization software,
|
|
- guest managed by [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/). This uses Virtualbox (as above) but does so in an easily repeatable way. Please check the [Armbian with Vagrant README](https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Using-Vagrant/) for a quick start HOWTO,
|
|
- inside a [Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [systemd-nspawn](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-nspawn.html) or other container environment [(example)](https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/255#issuecomment-205045273),
|
|
- running natively on a dedicated PC or a server (**not** recommended),
|
|
- **20GB disk space** or more and **2GB RAM** or more available for the VM, container or native OS,
|
|
- superuser rights (configured `sudo` or root access).
|
|
|
|
**Execution**
|
|
|
|
apt-get -y install git
|
|
git clone https://github.com/armbian/build
|
|
cd build
|
|
./compile.sh
|
|
|
|
Make sure that full path to the build script does not contain spaces.
|
|
|
|
You will be prompted with a selection menu for a build option, a board name, a kernel branch and an OS release. Please check the documentation for [advanced options](https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Options/) and [additional customization](https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_User-Configurations/).
|
|
|
|
Build process uses caching for the compilation and the debootstrap process, so consecutive runs with similar settings will be much faster.
