   apt-get dist-upgrade

3. Install basic packages:
   apt-get install build-essential net-tools

4. NOT NECESSARY (depends if sys is on vmware); install vmware-tools:
   mkdir /mnt/cd
   mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cd
   unpack
   ./vmware-install.pl
   Or from debian package:
   apt-get install open-vm-tools

5. Set proper date/time:
   dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

6. Add your to sudo group:
   apt-get install sudo
   adduser sudo
   reboot

7. Login as , install base packages with all dependencies:
   sudo apt-get install autoconf m4 bison flex g++ libtool sqlite gcc binutils patch bzip2 make gettext unzip zlib1g-dev libc6 gperf automake groff
   sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 libncurses5 libncurses5-dev gawk gitk zlib1g-dev autopoint shtool autogen mtd-utils gcc-multilib gconf-editor lib32z1-dev pkg-config libssl-dev automake1.11
   sudo apt-get install libmnl-dev libxml2-dev intltool libglib2.0-dev libstdc++5 texinfo dos2unix xsltproc libnfnetlink0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libgtk2.0-dev libnotify-dev libevent-dev mc git
   sudo apt-get install re2c texlive libelf1 mc
   sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

8. Remove libicu-dev if it's installed, it stopped PHP compilation:
   sudo apt-get remove libicu-dev

9. Install i386 elf1 packages:
   sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install libelf1:i386 libelf-dev:i386

10. Clone/download repository:
    git clone https://bitbucket.org/kille72/freshtomato-arm.git

11. Edit profile file:
    PATH="$PATH:/home///release/src-rt-6.x.4708/toolchains/hndtools-arm-linux-2.6.36-uclibc-4.5.3/bin"
    PATH="$PATH:/sbin"

12. Reboot system

13. Add your email to git config:
    git config --global user.email ""
    or
    git config user.email ""
    for a single repo

14. Add your username to git config:
    git config --global user.name

HOW TO COMPILE

1. Change dir to git repository ie: $ cd /freshtomato-arm
2. Before every compilation, use $ git clean -fdxq && git reset --hard
3. To compile SDK6 image, use: $ git checkout shibby-arm then: $ cd release/src-rt-6.x.4708, check for possible targets: $ make help, use one (RT-N18U/AC56S without SMP build AIO): $ make n18z
4. To compile SDK7 image, use: $ git checkout shibby-arm7 then: $ cd release/src-rt-7.x.main/src, check for possible targets: $ make help, use one (RT-AC3200 build AIO): $ make ac3200z
