# Installing on Linux
## Prerequisites
GStreamer is included in all Linux distributions. We recommend using the latest version of a fast moving distribution such as Fedora, Ubuntu (non-LTS), Debian sid or OpenSuse to get a recent GStreamer release.
All the commands given in this section are intended to be typed in from
a terminal.
> 
Make sure you have superuser (root) access rights to install the GStreamer SDK.
## Install GStreamer on Fedora
Run the following command:
```
dnf install gstreamer1-devel gstreamer1-plugins-base-tools gstreamer1-devel-docs gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel-docs gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-good-extras gstreamer1-plugins-ugly gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-devel-docs gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-devel gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras
```
## Install GStreamre on Ubuntu or Debian
Run the following command:
` apt-get install .... `
## Building applications using GStreamer
The only other “development environment” that is required is
the `gcc` compiler and a text editor. In order to compile code that
requires the GStreamer SDK and uses the GStreamer core library, remember
to add this string to your `gcc` command:
```
pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-1.0
```
If you're using other GStreamer libraries, e.g. the video library, you
have to add additional packages after gstreamer-1.0 in the above string
(gstreamer-video-1.0 for the video library, for example).
If your application is built with the help of libtool, e.g. when using
automake/autoconf as a build system, you have to run
the `configure` script from inside the `gst-sdk-shell` environment.
#### Getting the tutorial's source code
The source code for the tutorials can be copied and pasted from the
tutorial pages into a text file, but, for convenience, it is also
available in a GIT repository and distributed with the SDK.
The GIT repository can be cloned with:
```
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-sdk-tutorials
```
#### Building the tutorials
```
gcc basic-tutorial-1.c -o basic-tutorial-1 `pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-1.0`
```
Using the file name of the tutorial you are interested in
(`basic-tutorial-1` in this example).
>  Depending on the GStreamer libraries you need to use, you will have to add more packages to the `pkg-config` command, besides `gstreamer-1.0`
> At the bottom of each tutorial's source code you will find the command for that specific tutorial, including the required libraries, in the required order.
> When developing your own applications, the GStreamer documentation will tell you what library a function belongs to.
#### Running the tutorials
To run the tutorials, simply execute the desired tutorial:
``` c
./basic-tutorial-1
```
