PureOS provides convenient pre-built images for use on computer and in Virtual Machines, you can find those images here: https://downloads.puri.sm/ It is also possible to build a PureOS image from scratch from the PureOS repos. Purism does this when we want to test the reproducibility of a PureOS image. [[Development/Reproducible ISOs]] Use this document to read more detail about how we check byte-for-byte reproducible images. **Build a PureOS image** 1. **Prepare an appropriate environment. ** //If you're already running PureOS on your build machine, then you're all set. If you're running another GNU/Linux distribution it is likely best to set up a chroot or to use a tool like debspawn (discussed below.)// 2. **Install live-build and other tools** ``` $ apt install live-build git ca-certificates ``` 3. **Clone via git our configuration for PureOS** ``` $ cd /srv && git clone https://source.puri.sm/pureos/infra/make-live.git $ cd /srv/make-live ``` Currently we build a number of images; gnome-live, gnome-oem, plasma-live. Exporting the type of image you want into your environment is needed if you want to overide the default; ``` $ export FLAVOR="gnome-oem" ``` If no FLAVOR variable is set, the GNOME Live Flavor will be built by default. 4. Run `lb config` 5. Run `lb build` 6. **Have fun with a fresh new PureOS image!** **Building images with [[ https://github.com/lkorigin/debspawn | Debspawn ]]** The above steps can be sped up a lot and be automated by using debspawn, which is used to create the official PureOS images in a controlled environment. In order to use debspawn, just follow these steps: 1) Run `sudo apt install debspawn` 2) Then run `debspawn create green` 3) Create a new "build-pureos.sh" file with the following contents: ``` #!/bin/sh set -e set -x export FLAVOR="gnome-live" export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y git ca-certificates apt-get install -y live-build git clone --depth=2 https://source.puri.sm/pureos/infra/make-live.git /srv/build/lb cd /srv/build/lb/ lb config lb build b2sum *.iso *.contents *.zsync *.packages > checksums.b2sum sha256sum *.iso *.contents *.zsync *.packages > checksums.sha256sum mv *.iso /srv/artifacts mv -f *.zsync /srv/artifacts mv -f *.contents /srv/artifacts mv -f *.files /srv/artifacts mv -f *.packages /srv/artifacts mv -f *.b2sum /srv/artifacts mv -f *.sha256sum /srv/artifacts ``` 4) Make the .sh file executable and set the FLAVOR you want. 5) Tell debspawn to run the build and where to place the build result: ```debspawn run --external-command --artifacts-out=/where/to/put/the/built/image green /path/to/build-pureos.sh``` This should give you a replica of what our autobuilders did.
