⚙️ Building

This project requires a nightly version of Rust because it uses some unstable features. You might need to run rustup update nightly --force to update to the latest nightly even if some components such as rustfmt are missing it.

You can build the project by running:

make

This creates an ISO

🚀 Running

You can run the disk image in QEMU through:

make run
