	These instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 19.04 (with Docker) and Fedora 34 (with podman), but should also be applicable to Debian Sid (at least at the time of writing). For other distributions the dependencies may have different names and you may have to install additional ones.		These instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 19.04 (with Docker) and Fedora 41 (with podman), but should also be applicable to Debian Sid (at least at the time of writing). For other distributions the dependencies may have different names and you may have to install additional ones.

	From a user's point of view, Docker and podman are quite similar and accept almost all of the exact same commands, but there are some difference. The most significant differences for building Asteroid are that podman does not use a daemon and can be run "rootless" (that is, as a non-root user). This makes some things a bit easier, but either can be used.

	In this example, we will build AsteroidOS for <code>dory</code>(the LG G Watch). To build for a different watch than the LG G Watch, use its corresponding codename instead of <code>dory</code> when executing the <code>docker run ...</code> command. You can find the codenames for the supported watches on the [https://asteroidos.org/watches/ Watches page].		In this example, we will build AsteroidOS for <code>dory</code>(the LG G Watch).

	1) The build process requires roughly 2GB memory per thread. It might be necessary to limit the number of threads. This can be done by prepending <code>BB_NUMBER_THREADS=n</code> to the build command. Or by adding <code>BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "n"</code> to <code>build/conf/local.conf</code>.
