+hilbert os is a 64-bit hobby operating system, which is not very mature yet. to
+build and test it, you will need some software installed. on debian, i believe
+running command [1] below as root (e.g. with sudo) is sufficient. the default
+makefile target builds a disk image at build/disk.iso that can be booted on a
+64-bit bios system. you can use command [2] to build that. finally, use command
+[3] to run the disk in qemu with gdb attached.
-then, just run "make -jx", replacing x with the number of threads to use
-while building. this will create a bios-bootable disk image in out/disk.iso.
-you can then test it in qemu with gdb attached by running "make run".
+ [1] apt install g++ gdb git make nasm qemu-system-x86 xorriso
+ [2] make -j$(nproc)
+ [3] make run
