4
5```bash
6git clone https://github.com/google/android-cuttlefish
7cd android-cuttlefish
8debuild -i -us -uc -b
9sudo dpkg -i ../cuttlefish-common_*_amd64.deb
10sudo apt-get install -f
11```

132. Go to http://ci.android.com/
143. Enter a branch name. Start with `aosp-master` if you don't know what you're
15   looking for
164. Navigate to `aosp_cf_x86_phone` and click on `userdebug` for the latest build
175. Click on `Artifacts`
186. Scroll down to the OTA images. These packages look like
19   `aosp_cf_x86_phone-img-xxxxxx.zip` -- it will always have `img` in the name.

217. Scroll down to `cvd-host_package.tar.gz`. You should always download a host
22   package from the same build as your images.
238. On your local system, combine the packages:
24
25```bash
26mkdir cf
27cd cf
28tar xvf /path/to/cvd-host_package.tar.gz
