Open source is all about choices and while many are happy to use Windows as the development platform for their Ultibo projects we have been getting questions about using Linux instead.

So if you have a preference to use Linux for your Ultibo development then we now have instructions on how to build the sources. It isn’t as simple as a few mouse clicks but we figure if you use Linux regularly then you might already be used to following command line instructions.

The instructions come in two flavours, one for Debian which is a pretty traditional distribution and the ancestor of many other popular versions, and to keep things in the Raspberry Pi family we also have the Raspbian version.

You can find the build instructions on the Ultibo wiki, see here for Debian and this one for Raspbian.
