How to build & run

To build Beacon, you need to either be running Linux, or Windows with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

1. If you do not have all dependencies, please run install-packages.sh first.
2. Run make compile, and os.iso will be in the out folder in the current directory.
3. Burn to bootable USB real hardware (8MB+ RAM, Intel 386, VGA Graphics req'd), or virtualize it using tools such as QEMU or VirtualBox. Example QEMU command: qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom out/os.iso
4. Enter current date & time, or skip to use current RTC time.
