<title>Preparing to Use Toaster</title>
<para>
This chapter describes how you need to prepare your system in order to
use Toaster.

<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_QS_URL;#packages'>The Build Host Packages</ulink>"
and
"<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_QS_URL;#releases'>Yocto Project Release</ulink>"
sections in the Yocto Project Quick Start.
For Ubuntu/Debian, you might also need to do an additional install
of pip3.
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

<section id='toaster-establishing-toaster-system-dependencies'>
<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>

<section id='toaster-install-daemon'>
<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
