# Getting Started

How to get and build the libyuv code.

## Pre-requisites

You'll need to have depot tools installed: https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools

Refer to chromium instructions for each platform for other prerequisites.

## Getting the Code

Create a working directory, enter it, and run:

    gclient config --name src https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv

    gclient sync

Then you'll get a .gclient file like:

    solutions = [

      { "name"        : "src",

        "url"         : "https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv",

        "deps_file"   : "DEPS",

        "managed"     : True,

        "custom_deps" : {

},

        "safesync_url": "",

},

];

For iOS add `;target_os=['ios'];` to your OSX .gclient and run `gclient sync.`

Browse the Git reprository: https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv/+/master

### Android

For Android add `;target_os=['android'];` to your Linux .gclient

    solutions = [

      { "name"        : "src",

        "url"         : "https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv",

        "deps_file"   : "DEPS",

        "managed"     : True,

        "custom_deps" : {

},

        "safesync_url": "",

},

];

    target_os = ["android", "linux"];

Then run:

    gclient sync

To get just the source (not buildable):

    git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv
