+If you are wanting to compile software under Solus, we recommend installing our system.devel component by running the following:
+
+``` bash
+sudo eopkg install -c system.devel
+```
+
+This will provide items such as clang, gcc, make, a multitude of devel sub-packages, and more. Our system.devel is similar to packages on other operating systems, such as Debian's build-essentials.
