Installing Poky on Debian

To install the necessary packages for a headless host system, run the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat cpio python python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping

If our host system has graphics support, run the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev xterm

The preceding commands are also compatible with the Ubuntu distributions.
