== Install and run HaikuPorter ==

You're required to run a [http://download.haiku-os.org/nightly-images/x86_gcc2_hybrid/ Nightly Haiku] for this task.

Haiku uses HaikuDepot as its package manager, but this requires packages and a way to build these packages. We use the tool HaikuPorter to to do this by telling it to read 'recipe' files that contains all the instructions needed to successfully build the package for Haiku. These recipes file can be found in a database called HaikuPorts, which it hosted on GitHub.

Head over to the [https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/wiki wiki on the HaikuPorts website] and go to the section "Getting started" and follow the instructions on how to install HaikuPorter and the HaikuPorts database.
