Developer Workstation

This guide helps you find the minimum set of bundles needed to start your Clear Linux* OS development project.

Before continuing, review the swupd guide to learn more about the swupd tool and how Clear Linux OS simplifies software versioning compared to other Linux* distributions.

Workstation Setup

After installing the minimum set of bundles required to get started, you can add more bundles relevant to your specific use case.

To run any process required for Clear Linux OS development, you can add the large bundle *os-clr-on-clr*. However, you may want to deploy a leaner OS with only bundles relevant to your project.

Use the Developer Profiles tabs to start installing suggested bundles based on your role or project. Installing any dkms bundle gives all the tools you need to start. Consider these profiles as a starting point.
