+# Build raspOVOS locally
+
+It is possible to build this image locally for development purposes or for fun.
+
+## Understanding this repository
+
+This repository contains several directories with the `stage-` prefix.  Each one is executed in the order specified in a config file. [example here](#)
+
+A few of the stages are needed for an OVOS image.  Once a `headless` image is built, other stages can be added for other usage such as a GUI system, or Mark2 device.
+
+## Needed for Headless Image
+
+### stage-prep
+
+This is where all of the system setup happens.
+
+- Adds an apt repository for `mimic`
+- Configures locale
+- Installs essential packages with apt
+- Patches `cmdline.txt` for zram
+- Sets up automounting of USB media
+- Adds `system` and `user` systemd preset files
+- Disables WiFi powersave
+- Sets up rules for NetworkManager
+- Creates `.bashrc`, `.bash_profile`, and other `.<filename>` files in the users home directory
+
+### stage-splash
+
+**Optional**
+
+Add a little pizazz and give it a splash screen
+
+### stage-core
+
+This is where [ovos-core](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-core) and [ovos-messagebus](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-messagebus) are installed.
+
+This also creates the `ovos.service`, `ovos-skills.service` and `ovos-messagebus.service`
+
+### stage-hivemind
+
+**Optional**
+
+This is here so you can make your device a [HiveMind listener](https://github.com/JarbasHiveMind/HiveMind-core).
+
+The service `hivemind-listener.service` is created, but disabled by default.
+
+On a running image, issue the command `systemctl --user enable hivemind-listener.service` and `systemctl --user start hivemind-listener.service` to start it automatically on boot.
+
+### stage-skills
+
+Duh!! Install the skills here.  The service was created in `stage-core`, but skills are installed here.  This is just a MINIMAL set of skills to get your OVOS assistant up and running.  More can be installed on a running system.
+
+**At this point, with `hivemind-listener.service` enabled, you can skip to the last step, [stage-finalize](#), and have a working HiveMind master**
+
+### stage-audio
+
+This stage is where pulseaudio, or eventually pipewire is installed and configured.
+
+There is a `hardware` section here that has a service for autodetection of HAT's, including `respeakers` and the `sj201` *(implemented later)*.  This section is a **WIP** and any feedback would be great.
+
+### stage-speech
+
+[ovos-audio](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-audio) is installed and configured.
+
+TTS engines are installed and configured.
+
+### stage-listener
+
+This is where [ovos-dinkum-listener](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-dinkum-listener) is installed and configured.
+
+You can also configure your microphone and VAD plugins here.
+
+### stage-ggwave
+
+**Optional**
+
+This is installed after `stage-audio` because it depends on sound to work.
+
+For more informaton on how to use the [ovos-audio-transformer-plugin-ggwave](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-audio-transformer-plugin-ggwave).
+
+### stage-phal
+
+[ovos_PHAL](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-PHAL) (Plugin based Hardware Abstraction Layer) is where OVOS interacts with the device hardware.
+
+**From here you can skip to [stage-finalize](stage-finalize) and have a complete `raspOVOS headless` system which will even run on a RPi3b**
+
+## Optional and a WIP for now
+
+### stage-shareport
+
+Apple AirPlay support
+
+### stage-spotify
+
+Premium Spotify support
+
+## Needed for GUI Image
+
+### stage-gui
+
+This stage adds all of the components to have a working OVOS GUI device.  **You must have at least a RPi4 2G for this to run**
+
+[ovos-shell](#) and [ovos-gui](#) are installed and configured here.
+
+The `/boot/firmware/config.txt` is modified to allow a GUI
+
+**Skip to [stage-finalize](stage-finalize) to build a simple raspOVOS-GUI image**
+
+## Optional Special Stages
+
+### stage-mark1
+
+**WIP**
+
+Special configuration to support the Mycroft Mark1 device
+
+### stage-mark2
+
+**WIP**
+
+Special configuration to support the Mycroft Mark2 device
+
+## And the Final Stage
+
+### stage-finalize
+
+This is where the final things happen.
+
+- system links to log files
+- enabling systemd service files
+- naming the image
+
+# Pi-gen
+
+In order to build an image, we use the official image builder of raspbianOS...[pi-gen](https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen).
+
+pi-gen is organized into branches depending on the version you would like to build.
+
+- master
+  - The default branch - 32b `bookworm`
+- arm64
+  - The branch we normally use - 64b `bookworm`
+- bullseye
+  - 32b `bullseye`
+- bullseye-arm64
+  - 64b `bullseye`
+
+For specific information on using pi-gen, consult the [README](https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen/blob/master/README.md)file.
+
+# Building an Image
+
+From this point, we will assume you are working from your `home` directory
+
+`cd ~`
+
+Clone the required repositories
+
+`git clone https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/raspbian-ovos`
+
+`git clone https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen`
+
+Copy the `raspbian-ovos-config.example` file to make the required changes to it.
+
+`cp raspbian-ovos/raspbian-ovos-config.example ./raspbian-ovos-config`
+
+Edit the file
+
+`nano ./raspbian-ovos-config`
+
+Change all references to `<FULL/PATH/TO/CLONED/REPO>` to where you cloned the `raspbian-ovos` repository.  For this example it would be `/home/<USER>/raspbian-ovos/`
+
+The example file is configured for a headless image.  Add the stages from above for a GUI or other image.
+
+You can also change the name of the image and other configuration settings, such as the default locale.
+
+After making your changes, save and exit
+
+`Ctl-o`
+
+`Ctl-x`
+
+Move into the pi-gen directory.
+
+`cd pi-gen`
+
+Switch to the `arm64` branch of `pi-gen`
+
+`git checkout arm64`
+
+To actually build an image, you need root privileges.
+
+#### Start the build process
+
+`sudo ./build.sh -c /home/<USER>/raspbian-ovos-config`
+
+The `-c` flag should point to your edited configuration file.
+
+Sit back and wait.  The build process can last several hours.
+
+#### Getting the image
+
+After the build process, a compressed image will be avaliable in the directory `~/pi-gen/deploy`
+
+Write the image to a USB3 drive or a SSD drive.  SD cards may work, but have not been tested.
+
+Boot your new OVOS assistant and enjoy!!
