# Linux builds
Tested on: fedora36, ubuntu22
vm minimalish specs:
* 4 core cpu
* 17gb RAM
* 50gb storage
It's mostly a matter of doing once:
```
## pick build type:
# cd linux
# cd linux-mar
make fetch
## pick your os:
# sudo make setup-fedora
# sudo make setup-debian
make bootstrap
```
Then, to build:
```
make all
```
That should produce the (non-updating) setup.exe and the community portable zip. There is a second directory `linux-mar` where you can build the so-called `.mar` version of LibreWolf. This is te version that will be auto-updating someday. It's main drawback is some nasty theming bug.
