# Building ARTIQ-6 and earlier
Pre-flake ARTIQ (that is 6 and earlier) requires slightly different steps for building.
## Initial setup
The following steps need to be done only once.
First we will need to specify older nixpkg version - 21.05. Open ``~/.nix-channels`` with your favorite text editor.
If there are any ``nixpkgs`` present already, comment them out with ``#``.
Then add the following line:
```
https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-21.05 nixpkgs
```
Save and exit.
Now, we need special ``nix-scripts`` to configure building environment, and a local copy of the artiq repository, in legacy release.
```shell
mkdir artiq-legacy
cd artiq-legacy
git clone https://git.m-labs.hk/M-Labs/nix-scripts
git clone https://github.com/m-labs/artiq/
cd artiq
git checkout release-6 # or release-5...
cd ..
```
## Setting up the environment and building firmware
Within ``fish`` shell (others may not work correctly), set up the ARTIQ build environment:
```shell
nix-shell -I artiqSrc=<full path to artiq repo in legacy branch> nix-scripts/artiq-fast/shell-dev.nix
```
Then build the required firmware as usual:
```shell
python -m artiq.gateware.targets.kasli_generic <variant>.json
```
If you are building legacy ARTIQ for local use and you want to flash it, use:
```shell
artiq_flash -V <variant> -d artiq_kasli --srcbuild
```
There's a slight discrepancy from usual command - ``-V <variant>`` option is not present in ARTIQ-7+, but it is necessary here.
If you want to send the binaries to a customer, there's no need packing up the whole build directory - only ``top.bit``, ``bootloader.bin`` and ``runtime.elf/fbi`` or ``satman.elf/fbi`` are necessary. You can use the ``prep_pkg.py`` script from extras to package them up neatly into a zip file for distributions:
```shell
python prep_pkg.py -v <variant> -d artiq_kasli/
```
Then the customer can use ``artiq_flash`` easily, after extracting the contents:
```shell
artiq_flash -V <variant> -d .
```
