# Getting GN
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GN is a meta-build system that generates build files for Ninja.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Getting a binary
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can download the latest version of GN binary for Linux and macOS from Google's build infrastructure
|

|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you can build GN from source with a C++17 compiler:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
git clone https://gn.googlesource.com/gn
|
||
|
|
cd gn
|
||
|
|
python build/gen.py
|
||
|
|
ninja -C out
|
||
|
|
# To run tests:
|
||
|
|
out/gn_unittests
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Note:* On Linux and Mac, the default compiler is clang++, a recent version is expected to be found in PATH. This can be overridden by setting CC, CXX, and AR.
