+<p>To build Native Client modules, you must download and install the Native |
+Client Software Development Kit (SDK). This page provides an overview |
+of the Native Client SDK, and instructions for how to download and |
+install the SDK.</p> |
+<section id="overview"> |
+<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> |
+<p>The Native Client SDK includes the following:</p> |
+<dl class="docutils"> |
+<dt>support for multiple Pepper versions</dt> |
+<dd>The SDK contains <strong>bundles</strong> that let you compile Native Client modules |
+using different versions of the |
+<a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/overview.html#link-pepper"><em>Pepper Plugin API</em></a> (e.g., Pepper 31 or Pepper Canary). Review the |
+<a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/sdk/release-notes.html"><em>Release Notes</em></a> for a description of the new features |
+included in each Pepper version to help you decide which bundle to |
+use to develop your application. In general, Native Client modules |
+compiled using a particular Pepper version will work in |
+corresponding versions of Chrome and higher. For example, a module |
+compiled using the Pepper 31 bundle will work in Chrome 31 and |
+higher.</dd> |
+<dt>update utility</dt> |
+<dd>The <code>naclsdk</code> utility (<code>naclsdk.bat</code> on Windows) lets you download new |
+bundles that are available, as well as new versions of existing bundles.</dd> |
+<dt>toolchains</dt> |
+<dd>Each platform includes three toolchains: one for compiling |
+Portable Native Client (PNaCl) applications, one for compiling |
+architecture-specific Native Client applications with newlib, and |
+one for compiling architecture-specific Native Client applications with glibc. |
+Newlib and glibc are two different implementations |
+of the C standard library. All three toolchains contain |
+Native Client-compatible versions of standard compilers, linkers, |
+and other tools. See <a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/nacl-and-pnacl.html"><em>NaCl and PNaCl</em></a> to help |
+you choose the right toolchain.</dd> |
+<dt>examples</dt> |
+<dd>Each example in the SDK includes C or C++ source files and header files |
+illustrating how to use NaCl and Pepper, along with a Makefile to build |
+the example using each of the toolchains.</dd> |
+<dt>tools</dt> |
+<dd>The SDK includes a number of additional tools that you can use for |
+tasks such as validating Native Client modules and running modules |
+from the command line.</dd> |
+</dl> |
+<p>Follow the steps below to download and install the Native Client SDK.</p> |

+<ul class="small-gap"> |
+<li><p class="first"><strong>Python:</strong> Make sure you have Python 2.6 or 2.7 installed, and that the |
+Python executable is in your path.</p> |
+<ul class="small-gap"> |
+<li>On Mac/Linux, Python is likely preinstalled. Run the command <code>"python |
+-V</code>” in a terminal window, and make sure that the version of Python you |
+have is 2.6.x or 2.7.x (if it’s not, upgrade to one of those versions).</li> |
+<li>On Windows, you may need to install Python. Go to |
+<a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/download/">http://www.python.org/download/</a> and |
+select the latest 2.x version. In addition, be sure to add the Python |
+directory (for example, <code>C:\python27</code>) to the PATH <a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable">environment |
+variable</a>. After |
+you’ve installed Python, run the command <code>"python -V</code>” in a Command |
+Prompt window and verify that the version of Python you have is 2.6.x or |
+2.7.x.</li> |
+<li>Note that Python 3.x is not yet supported.</li> |
+</ul> |
+</li> |
+<li><strong>Make:</strong> On the Mac, you need to install the <code>make</code> command on your system |
+before you can build and run the examples in the SDK. One easy way to get |
+<code>make</code>, along with several other useful tools, is to install |
+<a class="reference external" href="https://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/">Xcode Developer Tools</a>. |
+After installing Xcode, go to the Preferences menu, select |
+Downloads and Components, and verify that Command Line Tools are installed. |
+If you’d rather not install Xcode, you can download and build an |
+<a class="reference external" href="http://mac.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=44632&t=4&i=1">open source version</a> of |
+<code>make</code>. In order to build the command you may also need to download and |
+install a copy of <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer">gcc</a>.</li> |

+<ol class="arabic"> |
+<li><p class="first">Download the SDK update utility: <a class="reference external" href="http://storage.googleapis.com/nativeclient-mirror/nacl/nacl_sdk/nacl_sdk.zip">nacl_sdk.zip</a>.</p> |
+</li> |
+<li><p class="first">Unzip the SDK update utility:</p> |
+<ul class="small-gap"> |
+<li><p class="first">On Mac/Linux, run the command “<code>unzip nacl_sdk.zip</code>” in a terminal |
+window.</p> |
+</li> |
+<li><p class="first">On Windows, right-click on the .zip file and select “Extract All...”. A |
+dialog box will open; enter a location and click “Extract”.</p> |
+</li> |
+</ul> |
+<p>Unzipping the SDK update utility creates a directory called <code>nacl_sdk</code> with |
+the following files and directories:</p> |
+<ul class="small-gap"> |
+<li><p class="first"><code>naclsdk</code> (and <code>naclsdk.bat</code> for Windows) — the front end of the update |
+utility, i.e., the command you run to download the latest bundles</p> |
+</li> |
+<li><p class="first"><code>sdk_cache</code> — a directory with a manifest file that lists the bundles |
+you have already downloaded</p> |
+</li> |
+<li><p class="first"><code>sdk_tools</code> — the back end of the update utility, also known as the |
+“sdk_tools” bundle</p> |
+</li> |
+</ul> |
+</li> |
+<li><p class="first">To see the SDK bundles that are available for download, go to the <code>nacl_sdk</code> |
+directory and run <code>naclsdk</code> with the <code>"list"</code> command. |
+The SDK includes a separate bundle for each version of Chrome/Pepper.</p> |
+<p>On Mac/Linux:</p> |
+<pre class="prettyprint"> |
+$ cd nacl_sdk |
+$ ./naclsdk list |
+</pre> |
+<p>On Windows:</p> |
+<pre class="prettyprint"> |
+> cd nacl_sdk |
+> naclsdk list |
+</pre> |
+<p>You should see output similar to this:</p> |
+<pre class="prettyprint"> |
+Bundles: |
+ I: installed |
+ *: update available |
+ |
+ I sdk_tools (stable) |
+ vs_addin (dev) |
+ pepper_27 (post_stable) |
+ pepper_28 (post_stable) |
+ pepper_29 (post_stable) |
+ pepper_30 (post_stable) |
+ pepper_31 (stable) |
+ pepper_32 (beta) |
+ pepper_canary (canary) |
+</pre> |
+<p>The sample output above shows that there are a number of bundles available |
+for download, and that you have already installed the latest revision of the |
+<code>sdk_tools</code> bundle (it was included in the zip file you downloaded). |
+Each bundle is labeled post-stable, stable, beta, dev, or canary. |
+These labels usually correspond to the current versions of |
+Chrome. (In the example above, Chrome 31 is stable, Chrome 32 is beta, etc.). |
+We generally recommend that you download and use a “stable” bundle, |
+as applications developed with “stable” bundles can be used by all current |
+Chrome users. This is because Native Client is designed to be |
+backward-compatible (for example, applications developed with the |
+<code>pepper_31</code> bundle can run in Chrome 31, Chrome 32, etc.). |
+Thus in the example above, <code>pepper_31</code> is the recommended bundle to use.</p> |
+</li> |
+<li><p class="first">Run <code>naclsdk</code> with the “update” command to download recommended bundles.</p> |
+<p>On Mac/Linux:</p> |
+<pre class="prettyprint"> |
+$ ./naclsdk update |
+</pre> |
+<p>On Windows:</p> |
+<pre class="prettyprint"> |
+> naclsdk update |
+</pre> |
+<p>By default, <code>naclsdk</code> only downloads bundles that are |
+recommended—generally those that are “stable.” Continuing with the earlier example, the |
+“update” command would only download the <code>pepper_31</code> |
+bundle, since the bundles <code>pepper_32</code> and greater are not yet stable. |
+If you want the <code>pepper_32</code> bundle, you must ask for it explicitly:</p> |
+<pre class="prettyprint"> |
+$ ./naclsdk update pepper_32 |
+</pre> |
+<p>Note that you never need to update the <code>sdk_tools</code> bundle—it is |
+updated automatically (if necessary) whenever you run <code>naclsdk</code>.</p> |
+</li> |
+</ol> |
+<aside class="note"> |
+The minimum SDK bundle that supports PNaCl is <code>pepper_31</code>. |

+<li><p class="first">Running <code>naclsdk</code> with the “update” command again will verify that your |

+</pre> |
+<p>On Windows:</p> |

+<p>An asterisk next to a bundle indicates that there is an update |

+Warning: This will overwrite any modifications you have made within this directory. |
