Build From Source
In order to build from source you'll need to have rust/cargo and esbuild installed.
## clone
git clone https://codeberg.org/ordinarylabs/Ordinary.git
## install CLI
cargo install --path Ordinary/core/apps/cli/ --debug
## `--debug` is optional but will make installation much faster
## and won't meaningfully impact local development performance
## install daemon (can take a bit)
cargo install --path Ordinary/core/apps/daemon/
