The devkitPro organization (which distributes devkitARM) has detailed installation instructions [on their website](https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started). When deciding which workloads to install, ensure you at least install the NDS Development workload, as that's what contains devkitARM.
## Linux * On Debian-based Linux distros (e.g. Debian & Ubuntu), the application can be installed using the Debian package we distribute. Simply run `sudo apt -f ./SerialLoops-{version}_amd64.deb` to install it. * On Red Hat-based Linux distros (e.g. Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS), the application can be installed using the RPM package we distribute. Simply run `sudo dnf install ./SerialLoops-{version}1.fc38.x86_64.rpm` to install it. * For other Linux distros, we distribute portable binaries in a tar.gz file.
