Building the Core Library Debian Package
****************************************

Adapter and simulator developers need the SimBricks core library (headers and static libraries)
to build against. The recommended way to get it is the ``simbricks-lib`` conda package (see
:ref:`sec-conda-packages`). For environments where conda is not an option, the main repository can
alternatively package the core library as a Debian package:

.. code-block:: bash

  git clone https://github.com/simbricks/simbricks.git
  cd simbricks
  make package

This produces a ``simbricks-core-dev_*_amd64.deb`` in ``lib/`` containing the SimBricks protocol
headers (installed under ``/usr/include/simbricks``) and static libraries, which you can install
with ``dpkg -i`` on Debian/Ubuntu systems.
