WiFi Dev Board - Building the Firmware Error

3rd-party modules
#1

Hi Folks

Please excuse the newbie question but I have run into a problem as per the title.

I am trying to set up my WiFi Dev Board on my Mac using the instructions in Docs/Flipper.net

I know very little *nix so please assume that I know nothing, which isn’t much of an exaggeration!

I have got to: “Building the Firmware” on the following page:

https://docs.flipper.net/development/hardware/wifi-developer-board/get-started#2ov5j

git clone --recursive GitHub - flipperdevices/flipperzero-firmware: Flipper Zero firmware source code
cd flipperzero-firmware

When I enter the first line I receive the following error:

fatal: could not create work tree dir ‘flipperzero-firmware’: Read-only file system

Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?

Thanks. I really appreciate your time and effort.

Seek and ye shall find, so they say. I knew what the error meant, but I didn’t know how to fix it. For the next beginner who comes up against this I did the following in Terminal on MacOS:

cd (to go to your home folder)
mkdir flipperzero-firmware && cd flipperzero-firmware (creates a directory called flipperzero-firmware and moves you to the directory)

The type in the commands above:

git clone --recursive GitHub - flipperdevices/flipperzero-firmware: Flipper Zero firmware source code
