Build Machine Requirements

  • Operating system: Debian 12

  • RAM: 8GB minimum

  • Chip: x86-64 / amd64 CPU architecture, Intel i5 or higher

  • Storage: 250GB minimum

Build Machine Configuration

Debian 12 will need to be installed on the build machine. You can find detailed instructions for that process under . Once that is complete, we can install the VotingWorks build system, .

Throughout the rest of this document, substitute <inventory-name> with the inventory provided by VotingWorks.

sudo apt install -y git
mkdir ~/code && cd ~/code
git clone https://github.com/votingworks/vxsuite-build-system

cd ~/code/vxsuite-build-system
./scripts/tb-initialize-build-machine.sh <inventory-name>
./scripts/tb-clone-images.sh <inventory-name>

At this point, you should have two separate VMs: debian-<inventory-name>-<apt-snapshot-date>-<debian-release-name>and online. You can confirm this by running:

sudo virsh list --all
