# Building Avalonia
# Building Avalonia
## Windows
Avalonia requires Visual Studio 2015 to build on Windows.
Avalonia requires at least Visual Studio 2015 to build on Windows.
### Install GTK Sharp
For the moment under windows, you must have [gtk-sharp](http://www.mono-project.com/download/#download-win) installed. Note that after installing the package your machine may require a restart before GTK# is added to your path. We hope to remove or make this dependency optional at some point in the future.

### Clone the Avalonia repository
git clone https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia.git
```
git clone https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia.git
git submodule update --init
```
We currently need to build our own private version of some libraries. These are linked as submodules in the git repository, so run:
### Open in Visual Studio
Open the `Avalonia.sln` solution in Visual Studio 2015 or newer. The free Visual Studio Community
edition works fine.
git submodule update --init
## Linux
### Install the latest version of Mono
To build Avalonia under Linux, you need to have a recent version of Mono installed.
Mono is a cross-platform, open source .Net platform.
There is a very good chance that the version of Mono that came with your Linux distribution
is too old, so you want to install a more up-to-date version. The most convenient way to to this
is through your package manager. The Mono project has great
[installation instructions for many popular Linux
distros](http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux).

Once you have your package manager configured for the Mono repository, install the required
packages:
* mono-devel
* referenceassemblies-pcl
* monodevelop
Once you have your package manager configured for the Mono repository, install the `mono-devel`
package, for example on ubuntu:
### Clone the Avalonia repository
```
sudo apt-get install mono-devel
```
git clone https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia.git
Once installed, check the version of mono to ensure it's at least 4.4.2:
### Update the submodules
```
mono --version
```
The Avalonia repository contains a few submodules, which need to be manually updated.
### Clone the Avalonia repository
git submodule update --init
```
git clone https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia.git
git submodule update --init
```
### Restore nuget packages
Unless you have a very current version of monodevelop (6.1.x or newer), it is necessary to manually
restore the Nuget depdendencies:
cd Avalonia
mkdir -p .nuget
wget -O .nuget/nuget.exe https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/latest/nuget.exe
mono .nuget/nuget.exe restore Avalonia.mono.sln
```
cd Avalonia
mkdir -p .nuget
wget -O .nuget/nuget.exe https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/latest/nuget.exe
mono .nuget/nuget.exe restore Avalonia.sln
```
### Build Avalonia
Start MonoDevelop and open the `Avalonia.sln` solution. Set the Samples/TestApplication
Build avalonia with `xbuild`:
```
xbuild /p:Configuration=Release Avalonia.travis-mono.sln
```
### Open Avalonia in MonoDevelop
Start MonoDevelop and open the `Avalonia.sln` solution. Set the Samples/TestApplication
project as the startup project and click Run.
There will be some compile errors in tests for the Windows platform, which can be safely
ignored.
Enjoy playing with Avalonia! You may want to explore some of the other Samples for a
flavor of the Platform
