Urbit
=====
Urbit is a new programming and execution environment designed from scratch. Any
resemblance to existing languages or operating systems is coincidental,
cosmetic, or inevitable.
There is a lot to explain. For more information, watch a [demo screencast][1]
and see the [Urbit website][2].
System Requirements
-------------------
Currently we support OS X, Ubuntu, Debian, and Amazon Linux.
Urbit depends on the following packages:
- GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library
- OpenSSL
- libsigsegv
- ncurses
Building Urbit
--------------
See the [documentation][3] for instructions on building and running Urbit.
