# Building the ISO
Perform the following steps to install the packages on Ubuntu:
1. Install the packages:
```
sudo apt-get -y install bison gawk g++ createrepo python-aptdaemon genisoimage texinfo python-requests libfuse-dev libssl-dev uuid-dev libreadline-dev kpartx git bc
```
1. Get Docker:
```
wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh
```
1. Make the ISO. The example below assumes that you checked out the workspace under `$HOME/workspaces/photon`:
```
cd $HOME/workspaces/photon
sudo make iso
```
**Result**
The ISO is created at `$HOME/workspaces/photon/stage/photon.iso`.
