Compilation Guide

If you would like to build the mod loader yourself on Linux, follow the steps below:

• Use your distribution's package manager to install rustup and git.
• Use rustup to install the Rust programming language.
• If rustup didn't install it for you, install build-essential or your distro's equivalent.
• Use cargo to install cargo-about: cargo install cargo-about --features="cli"
• Use git to clone the mod loader's repository: git clone https://github.com/AstroTechies/astro_modloader.git
• Then build the project in the root of the repository:

cd astro_modloader
cargo build --release

The last command may take a while to run. Once it's done, the executable (astro_modloader) will be in target/release.
