 ## Getting up and running

-We need a couple more things to be able to compile.

+We need three things to assemble the source into a rom.

+1. **rgbds**

+2. a **pokecrystal** repository

+3. a **base rom**

-If you're feeling lazy, just paste these commands into your terminal.

+-

-**apt-cyg** lets you install new packages without running Cygwin setup.

+We use **rgbds** to spit out a Game Boy rom from source.

 ```bash

-wget http://apt-cyg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/apt-cyg

-chmod +x apt-cyg

-mv apt-cyg /usr/local/bin/

+cd /usr/local/bin

+wget http://iimarck.us/etc/rgbds-20130811.zip

+unzip -j rgbds-20130811.zip

+rm rgbds-20130811.zip

```

-Now we can use apt-cyg to install everything else.

+The **pokecrystal** repository contains the source files used to create the rom.

 ```bash

-apt-cyg install make git python python-setuptools unzip

-easy_install pip

-```

-**rgbds** will let you compile Game Boy roms.

-```bash

-wget http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/irc/pokered/rgbds/rgbds-0.0.1.zip

-unzip rgbds-0.0.1.zip

-mv rgbds-0.0.1/* /usr/local/bin

-rm -r rgbds-0.0.1*

-```

-Set up the **pokecrystal** repository:

-```bash

 cd ~

 git clone https://github.com/kanzure/pokecrystal

 cd pokecrystal

 # install python requirements

+easy_install pip

 pip install -r requirements.txt

```

-## Don't forget baserom.gbc!!

+Not everything is included in the source yet.

+Missing patches are copied from a **base rom** (not included).

-Other **make targets** that may come in handy:

-`make clean` deletes any preprocessed source files (.tx), rgbds object files and pokecrystal.gbc, in case something goes wrong.

-`make pngs` decompresses any **lz** files in gfx/ and then exports any graphics files to **png**.

-`make lzs` does the reverse. This is already part of the build process, so **modified pngs will automatically be converted to 2bpp and lz-compressed** without any additional work.
