Get the Code: Checkout, Build, & Run Chromium

If you work at Google, you probably want to read the Google-specific instructions instead, which are basically the same except for some details relating to the Google corporate computer images.

You can Browse or Search the Chromium Code online.

Chromium supports building on Windows, Mac and Linux host systems. Select the platform you want to build:

• Linux
• Windows
• Mac
• Chrome OS (Build on Linux)
  • linux-chromeos (runs the Chrome OS version of Chrome on Linux)
  • cros-vm (runs in a Chrome OS virtual machine)
  • "simplechrome" (runs on Chromebook hardware)
• iOS (Build on Mac)
• Cast (these instructions are still old)
  • Android (Build on Linux)
  • Linux
• Android (Build on Linux)

The Chromium documentation is gradually moving into the source repository. The links above will take you there.

If you need help, try the chromium-dev Google Group, or the #chromium IRC channel on irc.freenode.net (see the IRC page for more on how Chromium uses IRC). These are not support channels for Chrome itself but forums for developers.

You can also, for a limited time, read the old instructions for getting the code.
