# Urbit
|
|
|
|
A personal server operating function.
|
|
|
|
> The Urbit address space, Azimuth, is now live on the Ethereum blockchain. You
|
|
> can find it at [`0x223c067f8cf28ae173ee5cafea60ca44c335fecb`][azim] or
|
|
> [`azimuth.eth`][aens]. Owners of Azimuth points (galaxies, stars, or planets)
|
|
> can view or manage them using [Bridge][brid], and can also use them to boot
|
|
> [Arvo][arvo], the Urbit OS.

## Development
|
|
|
|
[][trav]
|
|
|
|
Urbit uses [Nix][nix] to manage builds. On Linux and macOS you can install Nix
|
|
via:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The Makefile in the project's root directory contains useful phony targets for
|
|
building, installing, testing, and so on. You can use it to avoid dealing with
|
|
Nix explicitly.
|
|
|
|
To build Urbit, for example, use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The test suite can similarly be run via a simple:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that some of the Makefile targets need access to pills tracked via [git
|
|
LFS][git-lfs], so you'll also need to have those available locally:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git lfs install
|
|
git lfs pull
|
|
```
