-====== Installation and Setup ======
-===== Prerequisites =====
-We use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or 16.04 LTS on the host machine. Other distributions are supported but not documented here. Further, you have to patch the kernel with a realtime patch as described in [[https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page]]. It is possible to work without the realtime patch. However, the latency of the system will be much worse and will depend greatly on the load of other programs running on the system.
-To use EEROS on the host machine the following packages have to be installed:
-<code>
-$ apt-get install git make cmake g++
-</code>
-Please make sure to use a g++ version of at least 4.8.
-If you are not only doing simulations you will have to install further software in order to communicate with your underlying hardware. This could be libraries supporting EtherCAT, CANOpen, [[http://www.comedi.org|comedi]] or [[http://www.flink-project.ch|flink]]. In addition to one of this libraries you need the appropriate eeros wrapper library.
-===== Getting the Sources with a Script =====
-Setting up the correct way of compiling EEROS can be quite cumbersome. We strongly recommend to use our scripts. What to you want to do with EEROS?
-  * Run some examples, use the simulator, use with ROS / flink / comedi → see below [[getting_started:install_and_setup_development_environment#getting_the_scripts|Getting the Scripts]]
-  * Use it on the BeagleBone blue board → see [[https://wiki.ntb.ch/infoportal/software/linux/beagleboneblue]]
-  * Use it on the cb20 board with flink → see [[https://wiki.ntb.ch/infoportal/embedded_systems/imx6/cb]]
-  * Use it with EtherCAT on x86 platform → see [[https://wiki.ntb.ch/infoportal/embedded_systems/ethercat/start]]
-==== Getting the Scripts ====
-Create a new and empty directory and download the scripts from
-<code>
-$ git clone https://github.com/eeros-project/eeros-build-scripts.git
-</code>
-  - Copy all files from the cloned directory into your working directory. This is the place where you want to have all necessary repositories together with your appplication.
-  - Edit the ''config.sh.in'' file. Choose an appropriate toolchain file. The toolchain file basically determines which compiler you are going to use. If you work on the host and want to use the standard compiler you can omit this toolchain file. See [[arm_toolchain]] for an example of a toolchain file.
-  - Choose a meaningful name for the build and install directory.
-  - Comment or uncomment the necessary hardware libraries. The script will fetch those left uncommented.
-  - Change the name of your application directory so that it fits your application. Per default a simple motor control will be downloaded. If you don't want to download this, please comment these two lines out. If you have another application in a repository, change the name accordingly.
-Now you can run the ''clone'' script
-<code>
-$ ./clone.sh
-</code>
-After this you can continue with [[getting_started:compile_eeros|]].
-===== Getting the Sources Manually =====
-Clone the eeros source repository:
-<code>
-$ git clone https://github.com/eeros-project/eeros-framework.git
-</code>
-Checkout a stable version of EEROS:
-<code>
-$ cd eeros-framework
-$ git checkout v0.5
-</code>
-In addition to the eeros library you need to install libraries for hardware access together with the appropriate eeros wrapper libraries, see [[install_wrapper]].
