The Servo Parallel Browser Engine Project

Servo is a prototype web browser engine written in the Rust language. It is currently developed on 64-bit macOS, 64-bit Linux, 64-bit Windows, and Android.

Servo welcomes contribution from everyone. Check out The Servo Book to get started, or go to servo.org for news and guides.

• Install rustup: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
• Restart your shell to make sure cargo is available
• Install the other dependencies: ./mach bootstrap
• Build servoshell: ./mach build

Linux

• Install curl and python:
  • Arch: sudo pacman -S --needed curl python python-pip
  • Debian, Ubuntu: sudo apt install curl python3-pip python3-venv
  • Fedora: sudo dnf install curl python3 python3-pip python3-devel
  • Gentoo: sudo emerge net-misc/curl dev-python/pip
• Install rustup: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
• Restart your shell to make sure cargo is available
• Install the other dependencies: ./mach bootstrap
• Build servoshell: ./mach build

Windows

• Download and install python, choco, and rustup
  • Be sure to select Quick install via the Visual Studio Community installer
• In the Visual Studio Installer, ensure the following components are installed:
  • Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.0) (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.19041)
  • MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools (Latest) (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64)
  • C++ ATL for latest v143 build tools (x86 & x64) (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.ATL)

• Restart your shell to make sure cargo is available
• Install the other dependencies: .\mach bootstrap
• Build servoshell: .\mach build

Android

• Ensure that the following environment variables are set:
  • ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
  • ANDROID_NDK_ROOT: $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/ndk/26.2.11394342/ ANDROID_SDK_ROOT can be any directory (such as ~/android-sdk). All of the Android build dependencies will be installed there.
• Install the latest version of the Android command-line tools to $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/latest.
• Run the following command to install the necessary components:

  sudo $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager --install
