# Installing Linux dependencies
This page lists the required dependencies to build a Bevy project on your Linux machine.
If you don't see your distro present in the list, feel free to add the instructions in this document.
## Ubuntu 20.04
```bash
sudo apt-get install g++ pkg-config libx11-dev libasound2-dev libudev-dev
```
Depending on your graphics card, you may have to install one of the following:
`vulkan-radeon`, `vulkan-intel`, or `mesa-vulkan-drivers`
Compiling with clang is also possible - replace the `g++` package with `clang`.
### Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL 2)
Graphics and audio need to be configured for them to work with WSL 2 backend.
Please see the ubuntu [WSL documentation](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL) on how to set up graphics and audio.
## Fedora 33
```bash
sudo dnf install gcc-c++ libX11-devel alsa-lib-devel systemd-devel
```
If there are errors with linking during the build process such as:
```bash
= note: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libasound.so when searching for -lasound
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libasound.so when searching for -lasound
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/10/../../../libasound.so when searching for -lasound
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /lib/libasound.so when searching for -lasound
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libasound.so when searching for -lasound
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lasound
```
Add your arch to the end of the package to remove the linker error. For example:
```bash
sudo dnf install alsa-lib-devel.x86_64
```
## Arch / Manjaro
```bash
sudo pacman -S libx11 pkgconf alsa-lib
```
## Solus
```bash
sudo eopkg install pkg-config libx11-devel g++ alsa-lib-devel
```
## Void
```bash
sudo xbps-install -S pkgconf alsa-lib-devel libX11-devel eudev-libudev-devel
```
## NixOS
Add a `build.rs` file to your project containing:
```rust
# build.rs
fn main() {
if cfg!(target_os = "linux") {
println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=vulkan");
}
}
```
These packages provide the dependencies required to run a bevy project. They can be installed globally or via nix-shell.
Based on your global configuration it also might be necessary to allow unfree packages:
```bash
export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 # needed for lutris
nix-shell -p cargo pkgconfig udev lutris alsaLib x11 xorg.libXcursor xorg.libXrandr xorg.libXi vulkan-tools vulkan-headers vulkan-loader vulkan-validation-layers
```
Alternatively, you can define `shell.nix` containing:
```nix
# shell.nix
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }:
with pkgs;
mkShell {
buildInputs = [
cargo
pkgconfig udev alsaLib lutris
x11 xorg.libXcursor xorg.libXrandr xorg.libXi
vulkan-tools vulkan-headers vulkan-loader vulkan-validation-layers
];
}
```
And enter it by just running `nix-shell`.
You should be able compile bevy programms using `cargo` within this nix-shell.
