nOS is a blockchain powered virtual operating system that serves as the gateway to Decentralized Applications.
The nOS Client (Developer MVP Release) allows for the development of Decentralized Applications that interact with Smart Contracts in the back-end.
The standalone client installers can be found here. To build manually, the client can be cloned from GitHub and run using the development steps below.
Commands
# Cloning from Github
git clone https://github.com/nos/client.git
# Install dependencies and launch the nOS client
# This is used to start developing on the nOS client
yarn install && yarn start
# Testing command
yarn test
# Testing with debug (repl) command
yarn test:debug
# Distribution command (code signing certificates are required to make this work)
yarn dist
