Git
===
Libreboot's build system uses Git, extensively. You should perform the steps
below, *even if you're using a release archive*.
Before you use the build system, please know: the build system itself uses
Git extensively, when downloading software like coreboot and patching it.
You should make sure to initialize your Git properly, before you begin or else
the build system will not work properly. Do this:
git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
Change the name and email address to whatever you want, when doing this.

Python
======
Python 2 *and* 3 are used by different parts of the build system, not directly
but because certain projects Libreboot depends upon uses it.
You should have this configuration on your OS:
python
python2
python3
Running `python` should give you python 3.x.
Running `python2` should give you python 2.x.
Running `python3` should give you python 3.x.
Therefore, you should install both python2 and python3 in your distro.
