Build from Source

Building from source gives you the latest features and the ability to customize Nexus OS.

Clone the Repository

bash

git clone https://github.com/leonidas-esquire/nexus-os
cd nexus-os

bash

# Debug build (faster compilation, slower runtime)
cargo build

# Release build (slower compilation, optimized runtime)
cargo build --release

bash

# Copy to your PATH
sudo cp target/release/naos /usr/local/bin/

# Or use cargo install
cargo install --path .

Flag	Effect
`--release`	Optimized build (~10MB binary)
`--features edge`	Include Cloudflare edge support
`--features full`	All features enabled

bash

# Full-featured release build
cargo build --release --features full
