We use <aclass="ext-link"title="http://debian.org"href="http://debian.org">Debian</a> as our development environment. This was a natural choice, as the CryptoBox-LiveCD is also based on Debian. Other distributions should work too, of course - <i>your mileage may vary</i>.

If you want to use <aclass="ext-link"title="http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/"href="http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/">qemu</a> to test your <ahref="?action=doc&page=CryptoBox&weblang=de">CryptoBox</a> in a virtual environment, then you will need the <i>tun/tap</i> kernel feature.
Download the latest release from our <aclass="ext-link"title="http://subversion.tigris.org"href="http://subversion.tigris.org">subversion</a>-Repository:
Hint: This step will fail, if you did not install <i>apt-cacher</i>. See <ahref="?action=doc&page=CryptoBoxDevCustomBuild&weblang=de">CryptoBoxDevCustomBuild</a> for details on how to change the build-configuration settings (in this case: <i>mirror</i> in <i>dfs-cbox.conf</i>).
Now you can start to pariticipate in the development of the <ahref="?action=doc&page=CryptoBox&weblang=de">CryptoBox</a> or simply customize your own CryptoBox-LiveCD.
See <ahref="?action=doc&page=CryptoBoxDevWorkFlow&weblang=de">CryptoBoxDevWorkFlow</a> for details of how to use the developer's tools of the <ahref="?action=doc&page=CryptoBox&weblang=de">CryptoBox</a>.
