## Computer Requirements
1. **USB-A** cables are recommended to use, USB-C to may have issues with palera1n and getting into DFU mode.
> Due to USB-C cables having different accessory IDs, your device may not be able to be recognized when using USB-C due to not being able to assert to its USB voltage pin.
2. **Linux or macOS computer**
> USB-C port on Apple Silicon Macs *may* require manual unplugging and replugging of the lightning cable after checkm8 exploit. This problem may be solved by connecting via USB hub, though extensions can vary.
## Installing
Visit https://palera.in
## Building
Building is going to be a bit convoluted for each platform, each having their own unique specifications, but the best reference for building should be looking at how [GitHub actions](./.github/workflows/build.yml) does it.
```sh
# Supported params:
# GUI support (0 default):
# WITH_GUI=1
# TUI support (0 default):
# WITH_TUI=1
# Default ramdisk (1 default):
# WITH_RAMDISK=1
# Default overlay (1 default):
# WITH_BINPACK=1
# Compile statically (0 default):
# WITH_STATIC=0
# Compile using libciderra1n as backend (0 default):
# WITH_CIDERRAIN=0
# Debug or release build ("Debug" default):
# BUILD_TYPE="Release"
```
### macOS
Install necessary tooling:
- [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) and [Command Line Tools](https://developer.apple.com/download/all/)
- [Rust](https://rustup.rs/)
```sh
brew install cmake \
autoconf \
automake \
libtool \
pkg-config
```
Then compile:
```sh
make palera1n"
```
### Debian / Ubuntu Linux
Install necessary tooling:
- [Rust](https://rustup.rs/)
```sh
sudo apt install -y \
build-essential \
cmake \
autoconf \
automake \
libtool \
pkg-config
```
Then compile:
```sh
make palera1n
```
### Windows
- [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/)
Open mingw64 terminal and install necessary tooling:
```sh
pacman -S \
git \
mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain \
mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake \
mingw-w64-x86_64-libusb \
mingw-w64-x86_64-rust \
libtool \
openssl \
openssl-devel \
python-devel \
autoconf \
automake \
zip \
vim \
make \
patch
```
Then compile:
```sh
make palera1n_mingw
```
