Urbit
A personal server operating function.
The Urbit address space, Azimuth, is now live on the Ethereum blockchain. You
can find it at0x223c067f8cf28ae173ee5cafea60ca44c335fecbor
azimuth.eth. Owners of Azimuth points (galaxies, stars, or planets)
can view or manage them using Bridge, and can also use them to boot
Arvo, the Urbit OS.
Install
To install and run Urbit, please follow the instructions at
urbit.org/docs/getting-started/. You'll be on the live network in a
few minutes.

Development
Urbit uses 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, so you'll also need to have those available locally:
git lfs install
git lfs pull
