Please follow the the tutorials in /private/src/refs to get started.

Quick Install

Note

On Windows, you will need to use the setup link at: curl -fsSL http://setup.nekernel.org.

Designed to be make onboarding easier.

Design Rationale

There is three main reasons for this repository's existence:

• Hold the system in a single repository.
• Easier path resolutions based on a virtual root path, i.e (../krnl -> /private/src/krnl)
• Easier cycles and vetting for Ne.app releases.

Packaging

We plan to host a package registry for NeSystem and ANT. More information soon.

Community

Ne.app has a community discord for contributors and announcements.
