9==========================

11The *host computer* is a computer you use to develop applications.  It runs all
12your tools, editors, documentation viewers, etc.  To get started with RTEMS
13development you need tools from your host's operating system to build the RTEMS
14tool suite from source.  This is not a one-click installation process, but
15there are :ref:`good reasons <WhyBuildFromSource>` to build everything from
16source.  You need a native C, C++ and Python development environment.  Please
17make sure that you can build native C/C++ applications on your host computer.
18You must be able to build native Python C modules.  Usually, you have to
19install a Python development package for this.  Please have a look at the
20:ref:`Host Computer <host-computer>` chapter for the gory details.  In
21particular :ref:`Microsoft Windows <microsoft-windows>` user should do this.
