3.5. Building From Source (Bare Metal)

If you are provisioning a dedicated build server or setting up a self-hosted runner node directly on bare metal (bypassing Docker entirely), you can install the dependencies and build SimBricks from source.

Note

You will need to install the build dependencies for both the core SimBricks framework and any specific external simulators you require.

We suggest referring to the docker/Dockerfile.buildenv file within the repository, as it serves as the authoritative, up-to-date list of all required system packages for building everything bare-metal.
