Hello,

I'm trying to build ERGO from the sources but i'm getting an error which prevents it to be successfully built. Here a full log of the issue:

Is there a way to bypass that error? The full log is attached for even more details. build.log

There is no such sbt task as debian:packageBin available ... do just sbt assembly and then run it with something like : java -Xmx4g -jar ergo.jar --mainnet -c ergo.conf

See https://docs.ergoplatform.com/node/install/manual/

Thanks for the answer. You guys should probably consider upgrading the README.md because it is clearly saying the opposite, it is the first things people see when they visit the ERGO repository.
