## Development
|
|
|
|
To learn how to do development with these system components inside the Redox build system you need to read the [Build System](https://doc.redox-os.org/book/build-system-reference.html) and [Coding and Building](https://doc.redox-os.org/book/coding-and-building.html) pages.

|
### How To Build
|
|
|
|
To build this system component you need to download the Redox build system, you can learn how to do it on the [Building Redox](https://doc.redox-os.org/book/podman-build.html) page.
|
|
|
|
This is necessary because they only work with cross-compilation to a Redox virtual machine or real hardware, but you can do some testing from Linux.
