Prerequisites
- Docker (ensure docker daemon is running) -- tested with version 19.03.12, but any recent version should suffice.
Step-1: Docker in ubuntu 20.04 version
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https curl rtificates -agent software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu focal stable"
sudo apt update
apt-cache policy docker-ce
sudo apt install docker-ce
#Add User Name to docker
sudo usermod -aG docker <your user name>
# Reboot the system to enable the docker setup
Step-2: Clone , update the Submodule, unzip the content
git clone https://github.com/dineshannayya/riscduino.git
cd riscduino
git submodule init
git submodule update
