| 9 | Welcome to the Yocto Project Reference Manual! |
| 10 | This manual provides reference information for the current release |
| 11 | of the Yocto Project. |
| 12 | The manual is best used after you have an understanding |
| 13 | of the basics of the Yocto Project. |
| 14 | The manual is neither meant to be read as a starting point to the |
| 15 | Yocto Project nor read from start to finish. |
| 16 | Use this manual to find variable definitions, class |
| 17 | descriptions, and so forth as needed during the course of using |
| 18 | the Yocto Project. |

| 369 | <para> |
| 370 | In order to use the build system, your host development system |
| 371 | must meet the following version requirements for Git, tar, and |
| 372 | Python: |
| 373 | <itemizedlist> |
| 374 | <listitem><para>Git 1.8.3.1 or greater</para></listitem> |

| 380 | <para> |
| 381 | If your host development system does not meet all these requirements, |
| 382 | you can resolve this by installing a <filename>buildtools</filename> |
| 383 | tarball that contains these tools. |
| 384 | You can get the tarball one of two ways: download a pre-built |
| 385 | tarball or use BitBake to build the tarball. |

| 406 | choose the installation directory. |

| 439 | In this case, you use that machine to build the |

| 441 | take steps to transfer and run it on a |
| 442 | machine that does not meet the minimal Git, tar, and Python |
