# Using devkitPro on a RPM-based distro



Since devkitPro packages are distributed as pacman packages, you need pacman to install

them. But some RPM-based distros do not have pacman. With a bit of work, you can get

devkitPro's custom pacman (`dkp-pacman`) installed, if you follow the steps below.



## Setup



1. Download the [rpm package from the releases

   page](https://github.com/dkosmari/devkitpro-pacman-rpm/releases/latest).



2. Install the rpm:



       sudo rpm --install devkitpro-pacman-*.x86_64.rpm



3. Now set up dkp-pacman according to [devkitPro's

   instructions](https://devkitpro.org/wiki/devkitPro_pacman):



       sudo dkp-pacman-key --init

       sudo dkp-pacman-key --recv  BC26F752D25B92CE272E0F44F7FD5492264BB9D0 --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com

       sudo dkp-pacman-key --lsign BC26F752D25B92CE272E0F44F7FD5492264BB9D0

       sudo dkp-pacman -Syu



   This last command will install an update for `dkp-pacman`, overriding the files

   installed by the RPM package.



Now you're ready to start installing the devkitPro packages you want.



## Preparing your environment



Most homebrew build scripts expect the environment variable `DEVKITPRO` to be pointing to the root of

devkitPro (`/opt/devkitpro`); similarly for `DEVKITARM` and `DEVKITPPC`. This is my

preferred way to set it up, on a distro that uses systemd:



  1. Create the file `~/.config/environment.d/devkitpro.conf` with these lines:



         DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro

         DEVKITARM=${DEVKITPRO}/devkitARM

         DEVKITPPC=${DEVKITPRO}/devkitPPC



  2. Log out and back in again. You can check that the variable was defined properly by

     running this in a terminal:

     

         printenv DEVKITPRO



  3. (Optional) If you want to bring the devkitPro tools into your PATH during a terminal

     session, you can install the `dkp-toolchain-vars` package, which will install

     various shell scripts into `/opt/devkitpro` that can be sourced.



     For instance, to set up a Wii U environment, you can do:

     

         source $DEVKITPRO/wiiuvars.sh



     Note that these will override variables like `CC`, `CXX`, `CPPFLAGS`, etc, making it

     very difficult to use your native compiler.



     For maximum convenience, you can add these aliases to your `~/.bash_aliases`:

     

         alias 3ds-env='source $DEVKITPRO/3dsvars.sh'

         alias cube-env='source $DEVKITPRO/cubevars.sh'

         alias nds-env='source $DEVKITPRO/ndsvars.sh'

         alias switch-env='source $DEVKITPRO/switchvars.sh'

         alias wii-env='source $DEVKITPRO/wiivars.sh'

         alias wiiu-env='source $DEVKITPRO/wiiuvars.sh'



     Now you can just run `wiiu-env` to activate the Wii U environment, or similarly for

     the other consoles.
