Computer Requirements

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.

Linux or macOS computer

AMD CPUs (not AMD Mobile) have an issue where it causes them to have a very low success rate with checkm8 exploit. It is not recommended that you use them with palera1n.

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.

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 does it.

macOS

Install necessary tooling:

Xcode and Command Line Tools.

brew install cmake \
    autoconf \
    automake \
    libtool \
    pkg-config

Then compile:

make palera1n WITH_STATIC=1 WITH_GUI=1

Debian / Ubuntu Linux

Install necessary tooling:

sudo apt install -y build-essential \
    cmake \
    autoconf \
    automake \
    libtool \
    pkg-config

Then compile:

make palera1n WITH_STATIC=1 WITH_GUI=1

Windows

MSYS2

Open mingw64 terminal and install necessary tooling:

pacman -S git \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake \
    libtool \
    openssl \
    openssl-devel \
    python-devel \
    autoconf \
    automake \
    zip \
    vim \
    make \
    patch

Then compile:

make palera1n_mingw WITH_STATIC=1 WITH_GUI=1
