Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A running instance of EndeavourOS Latest.
• A user account with sudo access.
• An active internet connection.

Step 1 - Install Dependencies

First, we need to install the dependencies required to build and run Buildbot. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S python python-pip python-virtualenv python-setuptools python-wheel python-twisted python-git

This command will install Python and other required packages.

Step 2 - Create a Virtual Environment

Next, we'll create a virtual environment for Buildbot. This will allow us to isolate our installation from the system's Python environment. To create a virtual environment, run the following command:

virtualenv ~/bb-venv

This command will create a virtual environment in the ~/bb-venv directory.

Step 3 - Activate the Virtual Environment

Once the virtual environment is created, we need to activate it. Run the following command to activate the virtual environment:

source ~/bb-venv/bin/activate

This command will activate the virtual environment, and you'll see the (bb-venv) prefix in your terminal.

Step 4 - Install Buildbot

Now, we're ready to install Buildbot. Run the following command to install Buildbot:

pip install 'buildbot[bundle]'

This command will install Buildbot and its required dependencies.

Step 5 - Configure Buildbot

To configure Buildbot, we'll need to create a directory to hold the configuration files. Run the following command to create a directory:

mkdir -p ~/bb-master

This command will create a directory at ~/bb-master.

Next, we'll generate a sample configuration file. Run the following command to generate a sample configuration file:

buildbot create-master ~/bb-master

This command will generate a sample configuration file at ~/bb-master/master.cfg.

Step 6 - Start Buildbot

To start Buildbot, we need to run the following command:

buildbot start ~/bb-master

This command will start Buildbot using the configuration file at ~/bb-master/master.cfg.

Step 7 - Access Buildbot Web Interface
