# Compiling Pound (incomplete documentation!!)
# To use and compile Pound, you will need to **dump your own Switch or Switch 2 firmware** and place it in the following directory:
```
/assets/fw/
```
# No firmware or system files are provided with this emulator.
## Windows (10/11/vNext, Server 2016/2019/20h2/21h2/2022/22h2/23h2/24h2/2025/vNext)
(soon)
## Linux (Fedora/RHEL/openSUSE)
## Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)
### Installing dependencies and cloning Pound
Run the following in your terminal:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y ninja-build clang lld cmake ccache libx11-dev libxext-dev libxrandr-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev libxinerama-dev libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev wayland-protocols git
```
Now run the following:
```bash
git clone https://www.github.com/pound-emu/pound.git
cd pound
```
and then:
`cmake -G Ninja -B . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++`
## Linux (Arch/SteamOS)
Run the following commands in your terminal:
```bash
sudo pacman -S ninja clang lld cmake ccache libx11 libxext libxrandr libxcursor libxi libxinerama libxkbcommon wayland-protocols git
```
Now:
```bash
git clone https://www.github.com/pound-emu/pound.git
```
then:
```bash
cd pound
```
To initialize the submodules, direct to ``3rd_Party`` and than run ``git submodule update --init --recursive``
```bash
cd 3rd_Party
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd ..
```
lastly (in the pound directory not 3rd_Party) run:
```bash
cmake -G Ninja -B . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++
```
