# 🚀 Installation Guide
This guide will help you install Fennix on your system.
## 🛠️ Preparing the Environment
There are two ways to build the project:
1. **🐳 Use Dev Container (Recommended)**
* This is the easiest way to prepare the environment for building the project. But firstly, you need to install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).
* After installing Docker and Visual Studio Code, you can open the project in Visual Studio Code and click on the "Reopen in Container" button.
* This will open the project in a Dev Container with all the required tools installed.
* If you encounter errors while the Dev Container is building, ensure the following are correctly configured:
* `/tmp/.X11-unix`
* Environment variable `XAUTHORITY`
* `/run/user/1000/pulse/native`
* **Note:** These configurations are only necessary if you plan to use QEMU inside the container.
2. **💻 Build the Project Locally**
* The instructions below will guide you through the process of building the project locally.
**NOTE:** You MUST have `autoconf 2.69` and `automake 1.15.1` versions installed on your system. A complete list of dependencies can be found in the [.devcontainer/Dockerfile](.devcontainer/Dockerfile) file.
Before building the project, you need to build the cross-compiler toolchain and QEMU.
You can do this by running the following command:
```sh
make setup
```
This will clone, patch, and build the required tools for you.
Alternatively, if you wish to skip building QEMU, you can run `make setup-no-qemu`.
However, in this case, you will need to manually specify the path to the QEMU binary in the `config.mk` file.
## 🏗️ Building the Project
To build the project, run:
```sh
make build
```
This will build the kernel, userspace, and drivers. The resulting ISO image will be `Fennix.iso`.
## 🚀 Running the OS
To run the OS, execute:
```sh
make run
```
The `run` target will automatically build the project if it hasn't been built yet.
## ⚙️ Additional Configuration
You can customize the project by editing the `config.mk` file.
## 🧪 Debugging
If you use Visual Studio Code, you can press `F5` to start debugging the OS.
The configuration is already set up for you.
Alternatively, you can run the following command to start debugging:
```sh
make debug
```
This will start QEMU in debug mode, allowing you to connect to it using GDB.
The GDB FIFO file is located at `/tmp/gdb-fennix`.

### 🛠️ Compile from Source
### 🛠️ Prerequisites
To build the project, you need to have the following tools installed:
- `make`
- `gcc`
- `ld`
- ... and other standard Unix tools
- These can be installed using `build-essential` on Ubuntu or `base-devel` on Arch Linux
- `doxygen` (optional)
- To generate the documentation
