# 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.

# LibreWolf for windows
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **If your LibreWolf crashes on startup**, you're probably missing the right [Visual C++ Runtime](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0). You'll want the _Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019_ version for **x64**, which would be **[this file](https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe)**.
|
||||
* The latest type of **.zip files** allows for a user profile inside the extracted folder. It is _self-contained_ and runs on removable storage.
