Getting Started With the IGEL OS App Recipes

This document provides you with the basic knowledge that is required to create an IGEL OS App with igelpkg.

Basically, the procedure is as follows:

Prerequisites

• Machine with Ubuntu Linux 18.04 or higher, or another Debian-based Linux distribution
• The IGEL OS APP SDK, version 0.9.8 or higher
• Device with IGEL OS 12.01.120. To test if the app can be installed and started, a virtual machine is sufficient. If 3D graphics are required, a hardware device might be a good choice. To test if an app can be installed and started, a virtual machine is sufficient.
• A local terminal is configured on the device
