Linux Environment Setup

On Linux, install the required dependencies directly. The examples below assume Ubuntu 24.04 or another Debian-family environment using apt.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y \
  git curl wget zip make file tar xz-utils \
  python3 python3-pip python3-venv pipx \
  cmake ninja-build gcc g++ gdb \
  clang clangd clang-tidy \
  libwpa-client-dev libnm-dev libudev-dev

In current mainline, libwpa-client-dev, libnm-dev, and libudev-dev are the most relevant extra packages for Linux-side networking and device-related drivers.

Using Clang

Just point CMake at Clang explicitly:

cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja \
  -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang \
  -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++

If you want a prebuilt fixed environment, docker-image-linux is also available.
