openpilot tools
============

SSH
============

Connecting to your comma device using [SSH](ssh/README.md)


System requirements
============

openpilot is developed and tested on **Ubuntu 20.04**, which is the primary development target aside from the [supported embdedded hardware](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot#supported-hardware). We also have a CI test to verify that openpilot builds on macOS, but the tools are untested. For the best experience, stick to Ubuntu 20.04, otherwise openpilot and the tools should work with minimal to no modifications on macOS and other Linux systems.

Setup
============
1. Clone openpilot into your home directory:
``` bash
cd ~
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/commaai/openpilot.git
```

2. Run the setup script:

Ubuntu:
``` bash
openpilot/tools/ubuntu_setup.sh
```
MacOS:
``` bash
openpilot/tools/mac_setup.sh
```

3. Build openpilot by running SCons in the root of the openpilot directory
``` bash
cd openpilot && scons -j$(nproc)
```

4. Try out some tools!
