# Preparing Linux build environment

There is a good chance that you already have a working build environment. Just skip steps that you don’t need to execute.

## Installing basic build tools

Note that the example below uses `aptitude` package manager, which is specific to Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. Use your favourite package manager to install these packages on your OS.

    aptitude install build-essential gcc python-dev git-core

## Next steps

After completing these steps continue with Installing build dependencies.
