Linux

Here are the tools we’re going to need:

  • nasm
  • ld
  • grub-mkrescue + xorriso
  • qemu

How to install the tools depends on your distribution.

On Debian you can install them with

$ sudo apt-get install nasm xorriso qemu build-essential

On Arch Linux you can install them with

$ sudo pacman -S --needed binutils grub mtools libisoburn nasm qemu

And on Fedora with

$ sudo dnf install nasm xorriso qemu

Note that if your Fedora is up-to-date enough you will need to call grub2-mkrescue command instead of grub-mkrescue.
