Install essential Yocto Project host packages

Hi.

Totally new to IMX8M PLUS EVK with default linux image

imx8mpevk:~$ cat /etc/os-release
ID="fsl-imx-xwayland"
NAME="NXP i.MX Release Distro"
VERSION="5.4-zeus (zeus)"
VERSION_ID="5.4-zeus"
PRETTY_NAME="NXP i.MX Release Distro 5.4-zeus (zeus)"

Follow the IMX Yocto Project User guide ,do all the work on IMX8M PLUS EVK and meet a problem when installing essential packages:

sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib \build-essential chrpath socat cpio python python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect \xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping python3-git python3-jinja2 libegl1-mesa libsdl1.2-dev \pylint3 xterm rsync curl zstd pzstd lz4c lz4

I saw an answer from NXP TechSupport:

https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/apt-get-and-apt-key-does-not-work-for-Linux-5-4-XX-for-i-MX8MQ/td-p/1166369

To add a software package to the linux BSP, you need to add it to local.conf and recompile the image to achieve the goal. The Linux BSP of I.MX is not a standard release version of the debian system, and software packages cannot be installed through apt-get.

Where is the file local.conf? And how to recompile the image?

Or do I have to install Ubuntu instead of using the default IMX Linux system?

Looking forward to anyone's response. Thanks.
