=======
Instructions to get started with Skia on desktop systems (Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows).
1. [Download Skia](/user/download)
<!--?prettify lang=sh?-->
git clone 'https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git'
export PATH="${PWD}/depot_tools:${PATH}"
git clone 'https://skia.googlesource.com/skia.git'
cd skia
(On Windows without git, swap steps 1 and 2)
2. Install system-specific prerequisites.
- [Linux](/user/quick/linux)
- [Mac OS X](/user/quick/macos)
- [Windows](/user/quick/windows)
3. Sync dependencies and config. Build. Run tests.
<!--?prettify lang=sh?-->
python bin/sync-and-gyp
ninja -C out/Debug
out/Debug/dm
Gyp Options
-----------
Skia relies on Gyp to generate build files. Read about
[specifying options for Gyp](/user/tips#gypdefines) to set the
compile-time settings, compiler, build systems, and build directory.
Run unit and correctness tests
------------------------------
[DM](../../dev/testing/testing) ("diamond master") is the Skia test app.
<!--?prettify lang=sh?-->
ninja -C out/Debug dm
out/Debug/dm
Run Skia samples
----------------
[SampleApp](../sample/sampleapp) is the Skia sample program.
<!--?prettify lang=sh?-->
ninja -C out/Debug SampleApp
out/Debug/SampleApp
Build non-debug binaries
------------------------
The usual mode you want for testing is Debug mode (`SK_DEBUG` is
defined, and debug symbols are included in the binary). If you
would like to build the Release mode:
<!--?prettify lang=sh?-->
ninja -C out/Release
Performance tests
-----------------
Build and run nanobench (performance tests). In this case, we will
build with the "Release" configuration, since we are running
performance tests.
<!--?prettify lang=sh?-->
ninja -C out/Release nanobench
out/Release/nanobench
out/Release/nanobench --skps .../path/to/*.skp
<!-- TODO(mtklein): document nanobench -->
Keeping up to date
------------------
<!--?prettify lang=sh?-->
git fetch origin
git checkout origin/master
