Build an [Open Network Install Environment (ONIE)](https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie) compatiable network operating system (NOS) installer image for network switches, and also build docker images running inside the NOS.

# Prerequisite
## 1. Clone or fetch the code repository with all git submodules
## 1. Build environment
Build a docker image by [the Dockerfile](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-build-tools/blob/master/sonic-slave/Dockerfile) and build all remains in the docker container.

git clone https://github.com/Azure/sonic-build-tools
cd sonic-build-tools
./build.sh sonic-slave
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -it local/sonic-slave bash

Note that all the below steps should be executed in the docker container, not in the host machine.

## 2. Clone or fetch the code repository with all git submodules
To clone the code repository recursively, assuming git version 1.9 or newer

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage.git

## 3. Get vendor SAI SDK
Obtain Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI) SDK from one of supported vendors (see the list in [Usage](#usage) Section), and place it in the directory ./src/[VENDOR]-sdk/ as filelist.txt in that directory. Skip this step for p4 since it is an open source software switch.
