There are essentially three ways to build your NodeMCU firmware: cloud build service, Docker image, dedicated Linux environment (possibly VM).
|
|
|
|
## Cloud build service
|
|
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. Give [Docker NodeMCU build](https://hub.docker.com/r/marcelstoer/nodemcu-build/) a try.

## 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. There is a [post in the esp8266.com Wiki](http://www.esp8266.com/wiki/doku.php?id=toolchain#how_to_setup_a_vm_to_host_your_toolchain) that describes this. |
