Installation

Prerequisites

• Rust (stable toolchain)
• Nockchain source — clone from the Nockchain repo and set $NOCK_HOME
• hoonc — the Hoon compiler (ships with Nockchain)

Building from source

git clone https://github.com/zkVesl/vesl.git
cd vesl
make setup   # installs Rust deps, checks for hoonc
make build   # compiles kernel + hull

Verifying your install

make test

If tests pass, you're good. If hoonc panics with "Failed to canonicalize path," the library root argument is missing or incorrect — make sure $NOCK_HOME points at a valid Nockchain tree and that hoonc receives $NOCK_HOME/hoon/ as its library path.
