This page describes how to build/install sigrok on Linux.
== Binaries ==


== Distribution packages ==
=== Distribution packages ===


See [[Downloads#Binaries_and_distribution_packages|Downloads]].
Many Linux distributions ship with sigrok packages, see [[Downloads#Binaries_and_distribution_packages|Downloads]].


== Building ==
If the sigrok packages in your distro are rather old, you can also use the AppImage we provide (see below).
 
=== AppImage ===
 
We provide AppImages (see [https://appimage.org appimage.org] for details) for [[sigrok-cli]] and [[PulseView]] which make it very easy and convenient to use sigrok on somewhat recent Linux distributions (most distros newer than Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) from around 2016 should work fine).
 
After downloading the AppImage (see [[Downloads#Binaries_and_distribution_packages|Downloads]]) you can run it by simply making it executable and executing it, for example:
 
$ '''chmod u+x PulseView-NIGHTLY-x86_64.AppImage'''
$ '''./PulseView-NIGHTLY-x86_64.AppImage'''
 
You might need to install the libsigrok '''udev rules files''' to be able to access some devices. See ''[[Building#Cannot access USB .2F serial .2F other device|Cannot access USB / serial / other device]]'' for details.
 
== Building (script, recommended) ==
 
The most convenient method to build all of the sigrok subprojects from source is to use the '''sigrok-cross-linux''' script from the [https://sigrok.org/gitweb/?p=sigrok-util.git;a=tree;f=cross-compile/linux sigrok-util] repo. Despite the name, this script also does native builds out of the box.
 
The script assumes that you have installed all requirements of all sigrok subprojects. Please check ''[[Building#Build_requirements|Build requirements]]'' for details.
 
$ '''git clone git://sigrok.org/sigrok-util'''
$ '''cd sigrok-util/cross-compile/linux'''
$ '''./sigrok-cross-linux'''
 
This will download the current git version of all required sigrok subprojects and build them, installing the results in '''$HOME/sr'''. You may want to check out the '''README''' and/or adapt the script to your needs (e.g., if you want to install elsewhere).
 
You can use the files from '''$HOME/sr''' using (for example) the [[Building#Installing_to_a_non-standard_directory_using_LD_LIBRARY_PATH|LD_LIBRARY_PATH method]].
 
== Building (manually) ==

This page describes how to build/install the sigrok subprojects on Linux.

Binaries

Distribution packages

Many Linux distributions ship with sigrok packages, see Downloads.

If the sigrok packages in your distro are rather old, you can also use the AppImage we provide (see below).

AppImage

We provide AppImages (see appimage.org for details) for sigrok-cli and PulseView which make it very easy and convenient to use sigrok on somewhat recent Linux distributions (most distros newer than Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) from around 2016 should work fine).

After downloading the AppImage (see Downloads) you can run it by simply making it executable and executing it, for example: 

$ chmod u+x PulseView-NIGHTLY-x86_64.AppImage
$ ./PulseView-NIGHTLY-x86_64.AppImage

You might need to install the libsigrok udev rules files to be able to access some devices. See Cannot access USB / serial / other device for details.

Building (script, recommended)

The most convenient method to build all of the sigrok subprojects from source is to use the sigrok-cross-linux script from the sigrok-util repo. Despite the name, this script also does native builds out of the box.

The script assumes that you have installed all requirements of all sigrok subprojects. Please check Build requirements for details. 

$ git clone git://sigrok.org/sigrok-util
$ cd sigrok-util/cross-compile/linux
$ ./sigrok-cross-linux

This will download the current git version of all required sigrok subprojects and build them, installing the results in $HOME/sr. You may want to check out the README and/or adapt the script to your needs (e.g., if you want to install elsewhere).

You can use the files from $HOME/sr using (for example) the LD_LIBRARY_PATH method.

Building (manually)

IMPORTANT: The following sections on installing build requirements are distro-specific examples and may or may not be out of date, depending on which distro you use. Please check the official build requirements list in the wiki or the README/INSTALL file (of the subproject you want to build) for the full list of requirements.
