To build firmwares for the ARM architecture (all supported MCUs/keyboards at this point), you'll need to install the Zephyr™ ARM SDK to your system:

+### Environment Variables
+
+By default, the Zephyr™ SDK will create a file named `~/.zephyrrc` with the correct environment variables to build ZMK.
+We suggest two main [options](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/guides/env_vars.html?highlight=zephyrrc) for how to load those settings.
+
+#### Per Shell
+
+To load the Zephyr environment properly for just one transient shell, run:
+
+```
+source zmk/zephyr/zephyr-env.sh
+```
+
+#### All Shells
+
+To load the environment variables for your shell every time,
+append the existing `~/.zephyrrc` file to your shell's RC file, e.g.
+
+##### Bash
+
+```
+cat ~/.zephyrc >> ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+##### ZSH
+
+```
+cat ~/.zephyrc >> ~/.zshrc
+```

## Build
Actually building the ZMK firmware occurs within the `app/` subdirectory
