Builds on Linux use a containerised environment created using the [Dockerfile](https://github.com/matth-av/pointcaster/blob/qt/Dockerfile) in the root of the repository. This handles download and configuration of all dependencies. Either [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) or [Podman](https://podman.io/docs/installation) must be installed and configured on your system to proceed.

The Pointcaster AppImage can be built from the repository root like so:
+
The container image can be pulled from Pointcaster servers:
```sh
-
docker build -t pointcaster-linux .
-
docker run --rm -it -v ./:/pointcaster:Z pointcaster-linux ./scripts/build-linux-release.sh
+
docker pull cr.pointcaster.net/pointcaster-dev
+
```
+
+
Or you can build it yourself (but it will take a while):
+
```sh
+
docker build -t pointcaster-dev .
+
```
+
+
It can be run directly to create release builds:
+
```sh
+
docker run --rm -it -v ./:/pointcaster:Z cr.pointcaster.net/pointcaster-dev ./scripts/build-linux-release.sh
```
The `-v` argument ensures the repository is mounted inside the container.
