First, install the build dependencies.

+ +

+ Since libreboot makes extensive use of git, you need to setup git properly. If you haven't setup + git yet, the minimum requirement is:
+ $ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
+ $ git config --global user.email your@emailaddress.com
+ This is what will also appear in git logs if you ever commit your own changes to a given repository. For + more information, see http://git-scm.com/doc. +

+ +

+ Another nice config for you (optional, but recommended):
+ $ git config --global core.editor nano
+ $ git config --global color.status auto
+ $ git config --global color.branch auto
+ $ git config --global color.interactive auto
+ $ git config --global color.diff auto +

After that, run the get script:
-- cgit v0.9.1
