description How to set up Linux for Byte Engine applications.
icon Terminal

Install the native packages and configure AVX2 before you build Byte Engine on Linux.

Install system packages

Install the native build, windowing, audio, and Vulkan packages used by Byte's Linux backend.

sudo apt install -y cmake libwayland-dev libasound2-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxkbcommon-dev libvulkan-dev vulkan-tools vulkan-validationlayers

Enable AVX2 on x64

On x64 Linux, enable AVX2 explicitly instead of using target-cpu=native. Add this configuration to your application's .cargo/config.toml:

[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
rustflags = ["-C", "target-feature=+avx2"]

Optional: Install Mold

Mold is an optional linker that can reduce build times on Linux.

Follow the installation steps in the Mold repository.

Optional: Install RenderDoc

Install RenderDoc when you need to capture and inspect rendered frames.

sudo apt install renderdoc
