Install development tools

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ sudo apt-get install binutils
$ sudo apt-get install python
$ sudo apt-get install uuid-dev
$ sudo apt-get install git

Install Vortex codebase

$ git clone --depth=1 --recursive https://github.com/vortexgpgpu/vortex.git
$ cd Vortex

Configure your build folder

# By default, the toolchain default install location is the /opt folder and can be overridden by setting --tooldir.
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure --xlen=32 --tooldir=$HOME/tools

Install prebuilt toolchain

$ ./ci/toolchain_install.sh --all

set environment variables

# should always run before using the toolchain!
$ source ./ci/toolchain_env.sh

Building Vortex

$ make -s
