Now, time to go do the projects!


## Linux
## Linux distributions

*[Prerequisite for Makefile script]*
- **Perl programming language** must be installed. https://learn.perl.org/installing/unix_linux.html

**QEMU package** installation for simulating x86 architecture hardware:
- *e.g. Debian package `qemu-system-i386`, which will install `qemu-system-x86_64` command too.*
```sh
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y qemu-system-i386
```
- To test QEMU emulator installation:
*This will run the emulator with the default BIOS and no OS kernel to boot.*
```sh
prompt> qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic
```

**Compile & Run** xv6 code using Makefile: *It will detect the correct gcc cross-compilation toolchain (e.g. `elf32-i386`)*
```sh
make qemu-nox
```

TBD.
## Windows
Your option is more envolving and time consuming.
This would involve install WSL2 (which creates a hyper-v VM running Linux kernel that is integrated into Widnows OS), and then following the instruction for Linux installation.
