Installing Emscripten on Ubuntu

If you are installing on Ubuntu, you should be able to use the apt-get package manager and git for the complete install. Let's move forward:

1. Python is required, so if you do not have Python installed, be sure to run the following:

sudo apt-get install python

1. If you do not already have Git installed, run the following:

sudo apt-get install git

1. Now you will need to clone the Git repository for emsdk:

git clone https://github.com/emscripten-core/emsdk.git

1. Change your directory to move into the emsdk directory:

cd emsdk

1. From here, you need to install the latest version of the SDK tools, activate it, and set your environment variables:

./emsdk install latest
./emsdk activate latest
source ./emsdk_env.sh

1. To make sure everything was installed correctly, run the following command:

emcc --version
