Building from Source

If you want to contribute to Texts0 or run the latest development version, you can build the editor from source.

Prerequisites

• Rust: You need to have Rust installed. Texts0 requires the nightly toolchain.
• Git: To clone the repository.

Build Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/muxkin/Texts0.git
   cd Texts0

2. Set Rust to Nightly:

   Texts0 uses features only available in the nightly compiler.

   rustup override set nightly

3. Build:

   Compile the project in release mode for optimal performance.

   cargo build --release

4. Run:

   After building, you can run the editor directly:

   cargo run --release

   The binary will be located at target/release/texts0 (or texts0.exe on Windows).
