Building

Build from Source

If you'd like to build from source, first install Rust. You may need to add Cargo's bin directory to your PATH environment variable. Restarting your computer will do this for you automatically.

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

If you already have Rust installed, make sure you're using the latest version by running:

rustup update

Once done, finish installing the support software:

sudo apt install build-essential git clang libclang-dev pkg-config libssl-dev

Build the client by cloning this repository and running the following commands from the root directory of the repo:

git checkout <latest tagged release>
./scripts/init.sh
cargo build --release

Connect to the Acuity Network

Connect to the global Acuity network by running:

./target/release/acuity
