For Debian Bookworm:
1
| sudo apt install bc bison build-essential ccache curl flex g++-multilib gcc-multilib git git-lfs gnupg gperf imagemagick lib32readline-dev lib32z1-dev libelf-dev liblz4-tool libsdl1.2-dev libssl-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop pngcrush rsync schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev libncurses5

Install build packages:
Repo
1
2
| curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo |sudo tee /usr/bin/repo
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/repo
|
If you haven’t previously installed adb and fastboot, you can download the original version from Google and extract it:
1
2
3
4
| wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
wget https://dl.google.cn/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip # For readers located in China
unzip platform-tools-latest-linux.zip -d ~/.local/bin
|
Now you have to add adb and fastboot to your PATH. Open ~/.profile and add the following:
1
2
3
4
| # add Android SDK platform tools to path
if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin/platform-tools" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/.local/bin/platform-tools:$PATH"
fi
|
Run source ~/.profile to update your environment, or simply restart the shell.
Python
For Lineage OS 18+, python3 is required to build a package.
You would have to set your name to sync android source code.
1
2
| git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
|
Some large files may be required to download when syncing source code, hence install git-lfs:
Make new directory to pull source code
1
| mkdir lineage-21.0 && cd lineage-21.0
|
Initialize repo
1
2
| repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-21.0 # Sync the whole repo with all commit log, takes a lot of spaces.
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-21.0 --depth=1 # Only pull the latest commit without commit logs, takes not much spaces
|
Start syncing repo
1
| repo sync -c -j$(nproc --all) --force-sync --no-clone-bundle --no-tags
|
Then follow Lineage OS building guide…
