You first need to be sure your build system is set up to run
|
||
the Yocto Project.
|
||
See the
|
||
"<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_QS_URL;#yp-resources'>Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project</ulink>"
|
||
section in the Yocto Project Quick Start for information on how
|
||
to set up your system for the Yocto Project.

<title>Establishing Toaster System Dependencies</title>

|

<para>
|
||
Toaster requires extra Python dependencies in order to run.
|
||
A Toaster requirements file named
|
||
<filename>toaster-requirements.txt</filename> defines the
|
||
Python dependencies.
|
||
The requirements file is located in the
|
||
<filename>bitbake</filename> directory, which is located in the
|
||
root directory of the
|
||
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
|
||
(e.g. <filename>poky/bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt</filename>).
|
||
The dependencies appear in a <filename>pip</filename>,
|
||
install-compatible format.

<title>Optionally Setting Up a Python Virtual Environment</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
It is highly recommended that you use a Python virtual
|
||
environment that allows you to maintain a dedicated Python
|
||
executable and its own set of installed modules.
|
||
Doing so separates the executable from the Python and modules
|
||
provided by the operating system and therefore avoids any
|
||
version conflicts.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
Follow these steps to set up your virtual environment.
|
||
These steps assume a Ubuntu distribution:
|
||
<orderedlist>
|
||
<listitem><para><emphasis>Install <filename>virtualenv</filename>:</emphasis>
|
||
Install the supported
|
||
<filename>python-virtualenv</filename> package from your
|
||
distribution rather than using <filename>pip</filename>.
|
||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||
$ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv

</literallayout>

</para></listitem>

<listitem><para><emphasis>Create and Activate a Virtual Environment:</emphasis>

|

</para></listitem>
|
||
</orderedlist>
|
||
<note>
|
||
If you do choose to set up a virtual environment in
|
||
which to run Toaster, you must initialize that
|
||
virtual environment each time you want to start
|
||
Toaster.
|
||
Use the following to initialize the environment just
|
||
before you start Toaster:
|
||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||
$ source venv/bin/activate
|
||
</literallayout>

<title>Install Toaster Packages</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
You need to install the packages that Toaster requires.
|
||
Use this command:
|
||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|

$ pip install -r bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt

|

<para>
|
||
Toaster depends on
|
||
<ulink url='http://www.libslack.org/daemon/'><filename>daemon</filename></ulink>.
|
||
Depending on your distribution, how you install
|
||
<filename>daemon</filename> differs:
|
||
<itemizedlist>
|
||
<listitem><para><emphasis>Debian-Based Systems:</emphasis>
|
||
If you are running a Debian-based distribution,
|
||
install <filename>daemon</filename> using the
|
||
following command:
|
||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||
$ sudo apt-get install daemon
|
||
</literallayout>
|
||
</para></listitem>
|
||
<listitem><para><emphasis>Non-Debian-Based Systems:</emphasis>
|
||
If you are not running a Debian-based distribution
|
||
(Redhat-based distribution such as Fedora),
|
||
you need to download the file relevant to the
|
||
architecture and then install
|
||
<filename>daemon</filename> manually.
|
||
Following are the commands for 64-bit distributions:
|
||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||
$ wget http://libslack.org/daemon/download/daemon-0.6.4-1.x86_64.rpm
|
||
$ sudo rpm -i daemon-0.6.4-1.x86_64.rpm
|
||
</literallayout>
|
||
Here are the commands for a 32-bit distribution:
|
||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||
$ wget http://libslack.org/daemon/download/daemon-0.6.4-1.i686.rpm
|
||
$ sudo rpm -i daemon-0.6.4-1.i686.rpm
