# Install the required dependencies
## On Debian / Ubuntu / Kali / ParrotOS / Raspbian
First what we want to do is get an update for the system. If you need to upgrade do this **before** the install. An upgrade was carried out prior to following these instructions.
Update the packages list
```sh
sudo apt-get update
```
Install the requirements
```sh
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends git ca-certificates build-essential pkg-config \
libreadline-dev gcc-arm-none-eabi libnewlib-dev qtbase5-dev
```
If you don't need the graphical components of the Proxmark3 client, you can skip the installation of `qtbase5-dev`.
If you get some (non blocking) error at runtime such as _Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"_ you may have to install `libcanberra-gtk-module`.
## On ArchLinux
```sh
sudo pacman -Sy base-devel readline arm-none-eabi-gcc arm-none-eabi-newlib git --needed
```
If you want graphical output (such as in `hw tune`):
```sh
sudo pacman -Su qt5-base
```
## On Fedora
```sh
sudo dnf install git make gcc gcc-c++ arm-none-eabi-gcc-cs arm-none-eabi-newlib readline-devel qt5-qtbase-devel libatomic
```
If you don't need the graphical components of the Proxmark3 client, you can skip the installation of `qt5-qtbase-devel`.
# Clone the RRG/Iceman repository
```sh
git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3.git
```
# Check ModemManager
### ⚠️ Very important ⚠️
make sure ModemManager will not interfer, otherwise it could brick your Proxmark3!
Read carefully [this page about ModemManager](ModemManager-Must-Be-Discarded.md) and follow its instructions.
# Check connection
Check the proxmark is being picked up by your computer. Plug it in, then:
```sh
sudo dmesg | grep -i usb
```
It should show up as a CDC device:
```
usb 2-1.2: Product: PM3
usb 2-1.2: Manufacturer: proxmark.org
cdc_acm 2-1.2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
```
And a new `/dev/ttyACM0` should have appeared.
# Get permissions to use /dev/ttyACM0
Add current user to the proper group to get permission to use `/dev/ttyACM0`.
This step can be done from the RRG/Iceman Proxmark3 repo with:
```sh
make accessrights
```
Then, you *need* to logout and login in again for your new group membership to be fully effective.
To test you have the proper read & write rights, plug the Proxmark3 and execute:
```sh
[ -r /dev/ttyACM0 ] && [ -w /dev/ttyACM0 ] && echo ok
```
It must return `ok`. Otherwise this means you've a permissions problem to fix.
# Compile and use the project
Now you're ready to follow the [compilation instructions](/doc/md/Use_of_Proxmark/0_Compilation-Instructions.md).
