Installing the Pebble SDK

Install dependencies

The Pebble SDK requires some dependencies. Run the command below that corresponds to your operating system.

MacOS

brew install glib
brew install pixman

Ubuntu

sudo apt install libsdl1.2debian libfdt1

Windows

The Pebble SDK does not natively support Windows, but you can use WSL. Once you've installed Ubuntu in WSL, run:

sudo apt install python3-pip python3-venv nodejs npm libsdl1.2debian libfdt1

Download the Pebble CLI

Install uv, a fast package manager for Python.

Then, run:

uv tool install pebble-tool

The pebble tool allows you to create, build, and install Pebble projects on your watch and an emulator.

Next Steps

Now that you have the Pebble SDK downloaded and installed on your computer, it is time to learn how to write your first app!

You should checkout the Tutorials for a step-by-step look at how to write a simple C Pebble application.

Installation Problems?

If you have any issues with downloading or installing the Pebble SDK, feel free to post your comments in #sdk-dev in the Rebble Discord. Please provide as many details as you can about the issues you may have encountered.

Tip: Copying and pasting commands from your Terminal output will help a great deal.
