# Building with Multipass
In order to build an Armbian image from scratch, whether for development purposes or to [apply user customizations](https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_User-Configurations/) on top of a base image, a build environment is required. Per the Armbian documentation, Ubuntu 22.04 is [the officially supported](https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/) build platform.
[Multipass](https://multipass.run/) that is designed for quick and painless provisioning of Ubuntu VMs.
### Creating a VM and preparing for build
Multipass is [available](https://multipass.run/install) for macOS, Windows and Linux platforms.
Once you have multipass installed, a Jammy (22.04) instance with 4 CPUs, 4GB of RAM and 25GB of space available can be provisioned with a single command:
```bash
multipass launch --cpus 4 --disk 25G --mem 4G --name jammy
```
### Clone the build repo
You can run commands direct on the instance to clone the build repo:
```bash
multipass exec jammy -- bash -c "git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/armbian/build"
```
### Use an instance
Then you can get a shell to the instance and run the build as needed:
```bash
C:\> multipass shell armbian

# Let's get building!
ubuntu@armbian:~$ cd build
ubuntu@armbian:~/build$ ./compile.sh BOARD=orangepizero ... etc
```
### Share data with an instance
The recommended way to share data between your host and an instance with Multipass is the command:mount
```bash
multipass mount /my/dir jammy
multipass info jammy
```
Mounts: /my/dir => /my/dir
From this point on will be available inside the instance./my/dir
