These packages can then be transferred and installed on the target system.

## Advanced Configuration with Kconfig Tools
(This step is not needed for most users)

To change the build configuration such as the guest architectures, run:

```bash
make config # For text-based configuration
make menuconfig # For a menu-based configuration
```

This requires Kconfig tools to be installed. It is also possible to manually edit `.config`. The default configuration can be found in `config.mk` (which follows make syntax).

The tools are available as either `kconfig-frontends` or `kbuild-standalone`. There are two interfaces:
- `conf` for text-based configuration.
- `mconf` for a menu-driven interface.

A Python implementation is available at [Kconfiglib](https://pypi.org/project/kconfiglib). It can be installed with:

```bash
pip install --user kconfiglib
```

This also includes support for `guiconfig` (GUI-based configuration).
