Building From Source

If you want to compile the latest GIT version, you need a computer running Linux (any recent distro should work). Follow the steps below to download, compile and prepare the image from the GIT repo. Replace [board] with your actual board's name (e.g. raspberrypi).

make sure your system meets the BuildRoot requirements

clone the repository and change the current directory:

 git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos.git motioneyeos
 cd motioneyeos

optionally make your changes to the package selection and buildroot configuration:
```
 ./build.sh [board] xconfig
```
build the image for your board (at some point you'll be prompted for your password to become root):
```
 ./build.sh [board]
```
If everything went well, you will find your freshly built image at output/[board]/images/motioneyeos-[board].img.
write the image file to your SD card using your preferred method (e.g. with dd, replacing /dev/mmcblk0 with your SD card reader device):
```
 sudo dd if=output/[board]/images/motioneyeos-[board].img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4M
```
