| JS | 2 | This repository helps to build the g4 Linux suite for Debian based systems like Ubuntu or Debian. |
| e47d48 | 3 | |
| JS | 4 | ## Dependencies |
| 5 | - docker | |
| 6 | - docker-compose | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | ## Run | |
| 9 | 1. `git submodule update --init` | |
| 10 | 2. `docker-compose build` | |
| 11 | 3. `docker-compose up` | |
| 16cd37 | 12 | 4. After the process finished you will find `.deb` packages in each of the g4 suite components' `bin_deb` folder. |

| JS | 14 | ## Other OS Versions/Distributions |
| 16cd37 | 15 | You may need to create new Docker files for your Debian based distribution. You can use `Dockerfile.impish` as template. |
| JS | 16 | |
| 17 | ## Supported Architectures | |
| 18 | As the `g4track` library is binary only and x86 only, this packages run only only on x86 platforms. | |
| 19 | ### Raspberry Pi | |
| 20 | To run G4 tools on a ARM Raspberry Pi anyways, you need to setup [https://wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation](QemuUserEmulation). | |
| 21 | Please note that this may come with a performance penalty, as the software is executed through QEMU emulating an x86 platform. | |
| 22 | Because of consistent package versions among all architectures, we recommend to use [https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi](Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi). | |
| 23 | 1. `sudo apt install qemu binfmt-support qemu-user-static` | |
| 24 | 2. `sudo dpkg --add-architecture amd64` | |
| 25 | 3. `sudo apt update` | |
| 26 | 4. `sudo apt install libc6:amd64` | |
| 27 | 5. `sudo dpkg -i <your g4 debian packages, should include g4track>` | |
