A clean-slate operating system.
To run Arvo, you'll need Urbit. To install Urbit and run Arvo please follow the instructions in the getting started docs. You'll be on the live network in a few minutes.
If you're doing development on Arvo, keep reading.
Find Arvo's documentation on urbit.org.
To boot a fake ship from your development files, run urbit with the following arguments:
urbit -F zod -A /path/to/arvo -c fakezod
Mount Arvo's filesystem allows you to update its contents through Unix. To do so, run |mount in dojo. It is most common to |mount /=home=.
To create a custom pill (bootstrapping object) from the files loaded into the home desk, run .my/pill +solid. Your pill will appear in /path/to/fakezod/.urb/put/my.pill.
To boot a fake ship with a custom pill, use the -B flag:
urbit -F zod -A /path/to/arvo -B /path/to.pill -c fakezod
To run all tests in /tests, run +test in dojo. +test /some/path would only run all tests in /tests/some/path.
Most parts of Arvo have dedicated maintainers.
