#Building the firmware
|
||
|
|
There are essentially three ways to build your NodeMCU firmware: cloud build service, Docker image, dedicated Linux environment (possibly VM).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##Cloud build serivce
|
||
|
|
NodeMCU "application developers" just need a ready-made firmware. There's a [cloud build service](http://nodemcu-build.com/) with a nice UI and configuration options for them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##Docker image
|
||
|
|
Occasional NodeMCU firmware hackers don't need full control over the complete tool chain. They might not want to setup a Linux VM with the build environment. Docker to the rescue. https://hub.docker.com/r/marcelstoer/nodemcu-build/

##Linux build environment
|
||
|
|
NodeMCU firmware developers commit or contribute to the project on GitHub and might want to build their own full fledged build environment with the complete tool chain. http://www.esp8266.com/wiki/doku.php?id=toolchain#how_to_setup_a_vm_to_host_your_toolchain
