Building from source

Main kernel (on x86_64 Linux)

Requirements:

• Git version control system
• Rust toolchain

Steps:

1. Install the nightly toolchain:

rustup toolchain install nightly

2. Install required components:

rustup component add rust-src --toolchain nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu && rustup component add llvm-tools-preview --toolchain nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu && cargo install bootimage

3. Create a local clone of the repository:

git clone [email protected]:adamperkowski/highlightos.git && cd highlightos

4. cd into the kernel/ directory:

cd kernel

5. Build the bootable binary:

cargo bootimage --release

This command will create a target/target/release directory in which you'll find the bootimage-hlkernel.bin binary file.
