# Urbit
|
|
|
|
[Urbit](https://urbit.org) is a personal server stack built from scratch. It
|
|
has an identity layer (Azimuth), virtual machine (Vere), and operating system
|
|
(Arvo).
|
|
|
|
A running Urbit "ship" is designed to operate with other ships peer-to-peer.
|
|
Urbit is a general-purpose, peer-to-peer computer and network.
|
|
|
|
This repository contains:
|
|
|
|
- The [Arvo OS][arvo]
|
|
- [herb][herb], a tool for Unix control of an Urbit ship
|
|
- Source code for [Landscape's web interface][land]
|
|
- Source code for the [vere][vere] virtual machine.
|
|
|
|
For more on the identity layer, see [Azimuth][azim]. To manage your Urbit
|
|
identity, use [Bridge][brid].

## Install
|
|
|
|
To install and run Urbit, please follow the instructions at
|
|
[urbit.org/install][start]. You'll be on the live network in a
|
|
few minutes.
|
|
|
|
If you're interested in Urbit development, keep reading.

Urbit uses [Nix][nix] to manage builds. On Linux and macOS you can install Nix
|
|
via:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can optionally setup Nix to pull build artefacts from the binary cache
|
|
that continuous integration uses. This will improve build times and avoid
|
|
unnecessary recompilations of common dependencies. Once Nix has been installed
|
|
you can setup Cachix via:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nix-env -iA cachix -f https://cachix.org/api/v1/install
|
|
cachix use ares
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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 the Urbit virtual machine binary, 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
|
|
```
