# What is it?

# Building from Source
|
|
I use Qt Creator to build the software interface.
|
|
https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/
|
|
Open Desktop_Interface/Labrador.pro, then Clean All -> Run qmake -> Build All.
|
|
If you're on Linux (including Raspberry Pi), then you can also build the software from source by cloning the repo, cd'ing to the Desktop_Interface directory then running:
|
|
```
|
|
qmake
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
Then, to launch, just type `labrador` into the terminal.
|
|
|
|
To build the AVR software, I use Atmel Studio 7. Just load up the .atsln and push F7. You can use `avr-gcc` if you don't want to install a full IDE.
|
|
|
|
The PCB files can be edited in KiCAD 4.0.
