安装depot tools

GET DEPOT TOOLS

LINUX / MAC

Clone the depot_tools repository:

$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git

Add depot_tools to the front of your PATH (you will probably want to put this in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc). Assuming you cloned depot_tools to /path/to/depot_tools:

$ export PATH=/path/to/depot_tools:$PATH

WINDOWS

Download the depot_tools bundle and extract it somewhere.

Warning

DO NOT use drag-n-drop or copy-n-paste extract from Explorer, this will not extract the hidden “.git” folder which is necessary for depot_tools to autoupdate itself. You can use “Extract all…” from the context menu though.

Add depot_tools to the front of your PATH (must be ahead of any installs of Python). Assuming you unzipped the bundle to C:\workspace\depot_tools:

With Administrator access:

Control Panel → System and Security → System → Advanced system settings

Modify the PATH system variable to include C:\workspace\depot_tools.

Without Administrator access:

Control Panel → User Accounts → User Accounts → Change my environment variables

Add a PATH user variable: C:\workspace\depot_tools;%PATH%.

From a cmd.exe shell, run the command gclient (without arguments). On first run, gclient will install all the Windows-specific bits needed to work with the code, including msysgit and python.

Note

If you run gclient from a non-cmd shell (e.g., cygwin, PowerShell), it may appear to run properly, but msysgit, python, and other tools may not get installed correctly. If you see strange errors with the file system on the first run of gclient, you may want to disable Windows Indexing. After running gclient open a command prompt and type where python and confirm that the depot_tools python.bat comes ahead of any copies of python.exe. Failing to ensure this can lead to overbuilding when using gn - see crbug.com/611087.
