Installation on Docker

Docker

Docker can be used on almost every platform and offers and easy way to use the PSP SDK with very little setup.

To use it, install Docker itself using the instructions here.

Once docker is installed, the PSPDEV image can be downloaded using the following command from a terminal:

docker pull pspdev/pspdev:latest

To work with it, open a terminal in the directory with the code you’d like to build in it and run the following command:

docker run -ti -v $PWD:/source pspdev/pspdev:latest

This mounts the current directory to a directory called source in the container, so run cd /source to navigate to it.

That’s it, now the PSP SDK can be used to build PSP software. Check out the Basic Programs page to for examples on what you can do with it.

Using the container on Windows can be a bit tricky.

Replace $PWD with the absolute path in a UNIX format. Example: /c/Users/John/my_psp_code.
Your code must be located somewhere under “home folder” (like C:\Users\John), or the mounted directory will be empty when viewed from inside the container due to permissions.
If you get an Operation not permitted error from gmake while using psp-cmake, you’ll need to add the --privileged=true option to your docker run command.
