+# Cast Build Instructions |
+ |
+**Note**: it is **not possible** to build a binary functionally |
+equivalent to a Chromecast. This is to build a single-page content |
+embedder with similar functionality to Cast products. |
+ |
+## Prerequisites |
+ |
+* See the [Linux build prerequisites](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_build_instructions_prerequisites.md) |
+ |
+## Setting Up |
+ |
+* Cast Linux build only: [Linux build |
+ setup](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_build_instructions.md) |
+ is sufficient. |
+* Cast Linux and Android builds: follow the [Android build |
+ setup](https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/android-build-instructions) |
+ instructions. |
+ |
+## Building/running cast\_shell (Linux) |
+ |
+```shell |
+gn gen out/Debug --args='is_chromecast=true is_debug=true' |
+ninja -C out/Debug cast_shell |
+``` |
+ |
+```shell |
+out/Debug/cast_shell --ozone-platform=egltest http://google.com |
+``` |
+ |
+## Building/running cast\_shell\_apk (Android) |
+ |
+```shell |
+gn gen out/Debug --args='is_chromecast=true target_os="android" is_debug=true' |
+ninja -C out/Debug cast_shell_apk |
+``` |
+ |
+```shell |
+adb install out/Debug/apks/CastShell.apk |
+adb shell am start -d "http://google.com" org.chromium.chromecast.shell/.CastShellActivity |
