Cloning

This repository uses git submodules. To clone this repo with submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:TBD54566975/web5-js.git

Or to add submodules after cloning:

git submodule update --init

We recommend running the command below once which will configure your environment to only checkout the test-vectors directory under the web5-spec git submodule directory.

git -C web5-spec sparse-checkout set test-vectors

Hermit

This project uses Hermit to manage development tooling. See this guide to learn how to download the Hermit open source build and activate it for the project.

By default, the following packages installed by Hermit:

  • node
  • pnpm

You can check what has been installed by running hermit status.
