It can be cloned from the Git repository as follows: + + $ git clone git://git.proteanos.com/miniprokit/miniprokit.git + $ cd miniprokit/ + +Or the program can be downloaded by itself: + + $ wget http://git.proteanos.com/miniprokit/miniprokit.git/tree/miniprokit.sh + +See the [`README`][miniprokit-README] file for instructions on using miniprokit +to install ProteanOS into a directory. + +[miniprokit]: http://git.proteanos.com/miniprokit/miniprokit.git/ +[miniprokit-README]: http://git.proteanos.com/miniprokit/miniprokit.git/tree/README + + +Building From Source +==================== + +ProteanOS is self hosting – it can build its own packages. Packages can be +built either in an existing ProteanOS system or in another UNIX-like system +(using a three-stage bootstrap). + +Bootstrapping +------------- + +ProteanOS can be bootstrapped using a set of [scripts][]. See the included +[`README`][bootstrap-readme] file for more information about bootstrapping +ProteanOS. A dedicated Debian sid chroot (installed with debootstrap) is +recommended for bootstrapping ProteanOS with these scripts. + +[scripts]: http://git.proteanos.com/porting/initial-bootstrap.git/ +[bootstrap-README]: http://git.proteanos.com/porting/initial-bootstrap.git/tree/README + +Building in an Installed ProteanOS System +----------------------------------------- + +First install the `build-essential-<ARCH>` package for your architecture. This +causes the installation of all the packages that are commonly used to build +ProteanOS packages.
