Before embarking on building your own FlightGear binaries, you need to install a few tools that <tt>download_and_compile.sh</tt> uses to retrieve and compile source code. These tools are found in the following packages on [https://www.debian.org/ Debian] systems (and presumably on most Debian derivatives too):


* build-essential
* build-essential
* git
* git
* cmake
* cmake
* automake


They can be installed quite simply by running the following command line.
These packages can be installed by running a command such as:
 
  $ sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake
  $ sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake automake
Once this is done, the <tt>download_and_compile.sh</tt> script can be run. Unless told otherwise, it will install additional tools and libraries as it runs, depending on the chosen components (see below).
 
Once these tools are installed, the download_and_compile.sh script can be run. It will install possibly needed additional tools and libraries as it runs.
