Obtaining Yocto Project

We will use the daisy branch of Poky, which is a name for 1.6.1 version of Yocto Project. We will stick to this version throughout this book. These are the steps to follow while obtaining Yocto Project:

1. First, create a folder called yocto. Then, create a directory for it:

   $ mkdir yocto
   

2. Change the directory to this newly created directory:

   $ cd yocto
   

3. Fetch sources for Poky:

   $ git clone -b daisy git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git
   

4. Change the directory to poky:

   $ cd poky
   

What is the next logical step? Have a look at the directory contents using the ls command to see what we got. Welcome! We are in good place. Let's enjoy our journey.
