## Building

Building zorroOS is simple.    

First, ensure that you have the following depenedencies:

- `zig` Version: 0.13.0 (Please open an issue if the specificied version isn't building zorroOS correctly)

- `nasm`

- `python3` (To generate the Icon Pack)

- `xorriso`

- `git`

Then, clone the repository

```sh

$ git clone https://github.com/TalonFox/zorroOS --recursive

$ cd zorroOS

```

After cloning it, simply run `make iso` and a ISO named `zorroOS.iso` will be generated.    

You can then run this using an virtual machine/emulator such as QEMU, Bochs, VirtualBox, or VMWare.

You can also flash this onto a USB drive and boot it onto real hardware, if you would rather do that.
