# How Can I Help?
individual you can donate tax-free to NLNet, and they can in turn gift
our developers. Contact lkcl@lkcl.net for more information.

If you want to write code with us (and receive donations from NLNet
for doing so), keep reading. If you want to *learn*
just get in touch on the list, there is plenty to do.
1. First, join the
-[mailing list](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/mailman/listinfo/libre-riscv-dev),
-introduce yourself (people will happily say "hello" back"). Read through
-[recent posts](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/pipermail/libre-riscv-dev/)
-and the [[charter]], and let everyone know, on the list that you're
-happy with it and agree to it.
-2. The next thing you should do is read through the [bugs
-list](http://bugs.libre-riscv.org) and see if there are any bugs that
-pique your interest. A fascinating way to do that is to view the
-[dependency graph](https://bugs.libre-soc.org/showdependencygraph.cgi?id=1&display=web&rankdir=LR)
-3. After that, go ahead and take a look at the [git repositories](https://git.libre-riscv.org).

Also note that you can edit this wiki. You can experiment in the [[Sandbox]].
## Quick peek at the code
-Here is an example process of how to play with the soc code:
-
- pip3 install virtualenv requests
- mkdir ~/.virtualenvs && cd ~/.virtualenvs
- python3 -m venv libresoc
- source ~/.virtualenvs/libresoc/bin/activate
-
- cd ~; mkdir libresoc; cd libresoc
- git clone https://git.libre-riscv.org/git/nmutil.git
- git clone https://git.libre-riscv.org/git/ieee754fpu.git
- git clone https://git.libre-riscv.org/git/soc.git
-
- cd nmutil; pip3 install -e .; cd ..
- cd ieee754fpu; pip3 install -e .; cd ..
- cd soc; git submodule init; git submodule update; pip3 install -e .; cd ..
-
- python3 soc/src/soc/decoder/power_decoder.py
- yosys -p "read_ilang decoder.il; show dec31"
+The full install process may be automated using scripts found
+here: <https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=dev-env-setup.git;a=summary>
+which you can clone with:
+ git clone https://git.libre-soc.org/git/dev-env-setup.git
+A convenient page which gives easy step-by-step instructions is:
+[[HDL_workflow/devscripts]], and you can get started with a
+[[docs/firststeps]] tutorial.
## How can I learn?
We also need to find a c++ engineer with compiler experience to work on
a MESA 3D driver. This will begin life similar to SwiftShader however
-retaining the vectorisation and predication intrinsics as well as hardware
-accelerated opcodes (all of which SwiftShader lacks)
+retaining the vectorisation and predication intrinsics then adding
+hardware accelerated opcodes (all of which SwiftShader lacks)
Also, individuals with experience in formal mathematical verification
are quite welcome.
