Paparazzi is very easily installed on any laptop or workstation running the Ubuntu Linux OS or virtually any Debian based Linux. Apple Macintosh running Mac OS X system are also fairly well supported. Windows is supported through the WSL2 module (running a Linux kernel inside Windows10).
The steps required to install the software needed to be able to let your UAS fly are:
- Install tools and prerequisites needed by Paparazzi
- Download the source code from the source repository
- Compile the Paparazzi software from sourcecode
- Complete any final configuration
Note
If you run Ubuntu 16.04 or higher LTS (18.04, 20.04), go to the :doc:`../quickstart/install` page to get quickly running !
