## Installation

For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the [INSTALL.md](./INSTALL.md) file.

#### Note: Is your platform not supported? Either wait or contribute.

#### Note: There is a small execution barrier (~200ms) before the terminal opens on NVIDIA cards. This is a driver-related issue. It has something to do with `vkCreateInstance` and `vkCreateDevice` being extremely slow on NVIDIA cards. I am hoping to improve it as much as possible, but the biggest overhead lies in the lack of driver optimization. So I think we can expect improvements soon.
