# Build Your Own QPKG

* **Generate environment for QPKG**
  * Use SSH client to connect to your NAS
  * Issue below commands to create an environment of your own QPKG (assuming to-be-built QPKG name is “MyQPKG”)
  * `` # cd `getcfg QDK Install_Path -f /etc/config/qpkg.conf` `` 

`# qbuild --create-env MyQPKG`

* A folder named “MyQPKG” is then generated  

`[/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/QDK] # ls`\
`MyQPKG/ bin/ qdk* scripts/ template/`\
`[/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/QDK] # cd MyQPKG/`\
`[/share/HDA`*`DATA/.qpkg/QDK/MyQPKG] # ls`*  \
*`arm_64`*`arm-x19 arm-x31/ arm-x41/ build/ icons/ qpkg.cfg x86/ config/ package_routines shared/ x86_64/ x86_ce53xx/`
