Installing Docker

Building Julius for the Nintendo Switch or PS Vita requires the previous installation of docker.

Docker is a platform that simulates a different working envirionment than your own. It's useful to get a specific programming environment ready without the hassle of manually installing and configuring everything.

The following steps assume you are using a Debian-based Linux distribution such as Ubuntu.

To install docker for Debian-based Linux distributions, do the following:

1. Open a Terminal window.

2. Install dockerusing apt:

    $ sudo apt install docker.io
   

3. Add your user to the docker group:

    $ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
    $ su - $USER
   

Then proceed to building Julius, either for Nintendo Switch or for the PS Vita.

If you have a different Linux distribution or a different operating system, please follow the official instructions:

• Installing docker on Windows;
• Installing docker on Mac OS;
• For another Linux distribution, check the official page on installing docker.

Then proceed to building Julius, either for Nintendo Switch or for the PS Vita.
