### Building libretro cores ### Getting the code
You should at least build one libretro implementation so RetroArch can do stuff.
There is a [super-project](https://github.com/libretro/libretro-super) that is designed to easily build every libretro port out there. To build every core:
```bash ```bash
git clone git://github.com/libretro/libretro-super.git git clone git://github.com/libretro/libretro-super.git
cd libretro-super cd libretro-super
sh libretro-fetch.sh sh libretro-fetch.sh
sh libretro-build.sh
sh libretro-install.sh <path>
``` ```
This guide assumes you'd like to install retroarch into a folder called `~/ra`
