To do this, follow the instructions in the +":ref:`dev-manual/dev-manual-start:preparing the build host`" section of +the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual. For Ubuntu/Debian, you might +also need to do an additional install of pip3. :: + + $ sudo apt-get install python3-pip + +.. _toaster-establishing-toaster-system-dependencies: + +Establishing Toaster System Dependencies +======================================== + +Toaster requires extra Python dependencies in order to run. A Toaster +requirements file named ``toaster-requirements.txt`` defines the Python +dependencies. The requirements file is located in the ``bitbake`` +directory, which is located in the root directory of the +:term:`Source Directory` (e.g. +``poky/bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt``). The dependencies appear in a +``pip``, install-compatible format. + +.. _toaster-load-packages: + +Install Toaster Packages +------------------------ + +You need to install the packages that Toaster requires. Use this +command:: + + $ pip3 install --user -r bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt + +The previous command installs the necessary Toaster modules into a local +python 3 cache in your ``$HOME`` directory. The caches is actually +located in ``$HOME/.local``. To see what packages have been installed +into your ``$HOME`` directory, do the following:: + + $ pip3 list installed --local + +If you need to remove something, the following works:: + + $ pip3 uninstall PackageNameToUninstall |
