# Set up the basic development environment on PC host

Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-41102-1/topic/set-up-the-development-host-environment.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-41102-1/topic/set-up-the-development-host-environment.html)

The default supported Linux distribution system is Ubuntu 22.04.

Each time you get the latest release, check whether `Dockerfile` has been
            updated. If it's not the latest version, use `make simula-build-all` to
            update the docker image to get the correct support.

If you're not sure whether it's the latest version, run `make
                simula-build-all` every time to get the latest release.

If you encounter cache-related errors, resolve them using the following command:

    make simula-build-all docker_build_opts="--no-cache"Copy to clipboard

The docker image has different versions of Ubuntu Distro. Use `make
                simula-list` and `make simula-distro-<version>` to switch
            between them before building.

Set up on Ubuntu 22.04 by installing the required packages using the following command to
            the host
            environment.

    sudo apt-get install build-essential \
                         ca-certificates \
                         libssl-dev \
                         curl \
                         python3 \
                         ninja-build \
                         python-jinja2 \
                         cmake \
                         python-setuptools \
                         git \
                         fakeroot \
                         file \
                         libcap-dev \
                         python2 \
