#GsDevKit Operating System Prerequisites If you are installing the GsDevKit on OS X, then go directly to the GsDevKit prerequisites for OS X10.9 document.

If you care about customizing the installation of Ubuntu packages, the read the sections on required and recommended packages.

Otherwise just follow the instructins in the following section.

##Simplified Prerequisite Installation for Ubuntu

  1. Login to your Ubuntu server

  2. Manually install SSH:

    sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install openssh-client
sudo apt-get -y install openssh-server

  3. Logout of your ubuntu server and copy osPrereqs install script from local clone to Ubuntu server using scp:

    scp $GS_HOME/bin/osPrereqs <server-username>@<server-ip-address>:/home/<server-username>

    If you do not have a local clone of gsDevKitHome, then create an osPrereqs script using your favorite text editor or follow the manual steps in the required and recommended sections.

  4. Login to your Ubuntu server using SSH:

    ssh <server-ip-address> -l <server-username> -X

  5. Install prerequisites:

    /home/<server-username>/osPrereqs -X

    Note add the -G flag is you intend to use GemTools on your server.

  6. Continue with the installation of gsDevKitHome on your Ubuntu server.
