To build Universal-Updater from source, you will need to install devkitARM and some libraries. Follow devkitPro’s [https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started Getting Started] page to install pacman, then run the following command to install everything you need:
 
<pre>(sudo dkp-)pacman -S 3ds-dev 3ds-curl 3ds-bzip2 3ds-liblzma</pre>
(The <code>sudo dkp-</code> may not be needed depending on your OS)
 
You will also need [https://github.com/Steveice10/bannertool/releases/latest bannertool] and [https://github.com/profi200/Project_CTR/releases/latest makerom] in your PATH.
 
=== Cloning the repository ===
 
To download the source you will need to clone the repository with submodules, this can be done by running:


Universal-Updater is packed with features! Some include the JSON script updater, an App store, an FTP server, and more!
<pre>git clone --recursive https://github.com/Universal-Team/Universal-Updater.git</pre>
If you’ve already cloned it, you can use the following command to update all of the submodules:


* JSON-based Script updater
<pre>git submodule update --init --recursive</pre>
* JSON Script Downloader
=== Building ===
* An App Store, the UniStore
* A Settings page, for configuring Universal-Updater Settings
* An FTP Server


== Compilation ==
Once you’ve cloned the repository (with submodules), simply run <code>make</code> in the root of the repository.


To build Universal-Updater from source, you need devkitPro installed, along with devkitARM, libctru, 3ds-curl, and 3ds-libarchive. To get these you can run <code>pacman -S 3ds-dev --noconfirm</code>, then <code>pacman -S 3ds-curl --noconfirm</code>, and lastly <code>pacman -S 3ds-libarchive --noconfirm</code>. Now that you have everything installed, you just need to run clone the repository and run <code>make</code>
If you’re testing in Citra, run <code>make citra</code> instead of just <code>make</code> to disable the Wi-Fi check. (Note: <code>source/utils/download.cpp</code> must be rebuilt for this to take affect, save the file if it’s already been built)

Compilation

Setting up your environment

To build Universal-Updater from source, you will need to install devkitARM and some libraries. Follow devkitPro’s Getting Started page to install pacman, then run the following command to install everything you need: 

(sudo dkp-)pacman -S 3ds-dev 3ds-curl 3ds-bzip2 3ds-liblzma

(The sudo dkp- may not be needed depending on your OS)

You will also need bannertool and makerom in your PATH.

Cloning the repository

To download the source you will need to clone the repository with submodules, this can be done by running: 

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Universal-Team/Universal-Updater.git

If you’ve already cloned it, you can use the following command to update all of the submodules: 

git submodule update --init --recursive

Building

Once you’ve cloned the repository (with submodules), simply run make in the root of the repository.

If you’re testing in Citra, run make citra instead of just make to disable the Wi-Fi check. (Note: source/utils/download.cpp must be rebuilt for this to take affect, save the file if it’s already been built)
