+ <title>Setting Up the Basic System Requirements</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Before you can use Toaster, you need to first set up your
+ build system to run the Yocto Project.
+ To do this, follow the instructions in the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#setting-up-the-development-host-to-use-the-yocto-project'>Preparing the Build Host</ulink>"
+ section of the Yocto Project Development Tasks
+ Manual.
+ For Ubuntu/Debian, you might also need to do an additional install
+ of pip3.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

+ <title>Establishing Toaster System Dependencies</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Toaster requires extra Python dependencies in order to run.
+ A Toaster requirements file named
+ <filename>toaster-requirements.txt</filename> defines the
+ Python dependencies.
+ The requirements file is located in the
+ <filename>bitbake</filename> directory, which is located in the
+ root directory of the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
+ (e.g. <filename>poky/bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt</filename>).
+ The dependencies appear in a <filename>pip</filename>,
+ install-compatible format.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='toaster-load-packages'>
+ <title>Install Toaster Packages</title>
+
+ <para>
+ You need to install the packages that Toaster requires.
+ Use this command:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ pip3 install --user -r bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt
+ </literallayout>
+ The previous command installs the necessary Toaster modules
+ into a local python 3 cache in your
+ <filename>$HOME</filename> directory.
+ The caches is actually located in
+ <filename>$HOME/.local</filename>.
+ To see what packages have been installed into your
+ <filename>$HOME</filename> directory, do the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ pip3 list installed --local
+ </literallayout>
+ If you need to remove something, the following works:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ pip3 uninstall PackageNameToUninstall
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>

+ <title>Install <filename>daemon</filename></title>
+
+ <para>
+ Toaster depends on
+ <ulink url='http://www.libslack.org/daemon/'><filename>daemon</filename></ulink>.
+ Depending on your distribution, how you install
+ <filename>daemon</filename> differs:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Debian-Based Systems:</emphasis>
+ If you are running a Debian-based distribution,
+ install <filename>daemon</filename> using the
+ following command:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ sudo apt-get install daemon​
+ </literallayout>
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Non-Debian-Based Systems:</emphasis>
+ If you are not running a Debian-based distribution
+ (Redhat-based distribution such as Fedora),
+ you need to download ​the file relevant to the
+ architecture and then install
+ <filename>daemon</filename> manually.
+ Following are the commands for 64-bit distributions:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ wget http://libslack.org/daemon/download/daemon-0.6.4-1.x86_64.rpm
+ $ sudo rpm -i daemon-0.6.4-1.x86_64.rpm
+ </literallayout>
+ Here are the commands for a 32-bit distribution:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ wget http://libslack.org/daemon/download/daemon-0.6.4-1.i686.rpm
+ $ sudo rpm -i ​daemon-0.6.4-1.i686.rpm​
