## Install ARM rd-infra

### 1. Install repo tools

google repo tool not avaliable in domestic, so should turn-to domestic mirror

 针对这个问题，解决方案如下：

https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/help/git-repo/

1. 获取repo

$ cd ~
$ mkdir ./git-repo
$ cd ./git-repo
$ curl https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/git/git-repo > ~/git-repo/repo

$ sudo mv ./git-repo /opt/

$ sudo chmod a+x /opt/git-repo/repo
$ export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin

2. 修改repo文件

打开~/bin/repo文件并修改google地址
sudo vi /opt/git-repo/repo

From
REPO_URL = 'https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo'
To
REPO_URL = 'https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/git/git-repo/'
