| 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 | |
| 35ba1b | 18 | As the `g4track` library is binary only and x86 only, this packages run only on x86 platforms. |
| 16cd37 | 19 | ### Raspberry Pi |
| 64ace7 | 20 | To run G4 tools on a ARM Raspberry Pi anyways, you need to setup [QemuUserEmulation](https://wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation). |
| 16cd37 | 21 | Please note that this may come with a performance penalty, as the software is executed through QEMU emulating an x86 platform. |
| 64ace7 | 22 | Because of consistent package versions among all architectures, we recommend to use [Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi](https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi). |
| 68a666 | 23 | 1. Build the packages on a x86 platform as described obove. |
| JS | 24 | 2. Upload the `.deb` packages to the Raspberry Pi. |
| 25 | 3. `sudo apt install qemu binfmt-support qemu-user-static` | |
| 26 | 4. `sudo dpkg --add-architecture amd64` | |
| 27 | 5. `sudo apt update` | |
| 28 | 6. `sudo apt install libc6:amd64 libusb-1.0-0:amd64` | |
| 29 | 7. `sudo dpkg -i <your g4 debian packages, should include g4track>` | |
