• Your build environment must be FreeBSD 12-CURRENT

• An amd64 capable processor. 12GB of memory, or an equal/greater amount of swap space, is also required.

• An internet connection for downloading source and packages

Note: All these commands must be run as root.

Install the dependencies:

# make bootstrap-pkgs

Download and assemble the source code:

# make checkout

Compile the source, then generate the .ISO:

# make release

Once the build completes successfully, you'll have release bits in the _BE directory.
