Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The README says standalone installers are available through the GitHub releases page. It lists macOS, Windows, and Linux releases; the technical platform listing identifies Windows and macOS.

  • The repository lists an MIT license and JavaScript as its primary language.
  • The README describes the client as a Developer MVP.
  • Manual startup uses Git and Yarn; distribution builds require code-signing certificates.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up the nOS Client from its repository

Clone the client, install its dependencies, and start it for development.

Before you start

  • Git and Yarn are needed for the README’s manual development steps.

Steps

  1. Clone the repository with the command below.

    Documented command
    git clone https://github.com/nos/client.git

  2. Install dependencies and launch the client with yarn install && yarn start.

Expected outcome

The README describes this as launching the client for development.

Guide limitations

  • This covers starting the client, not building or deploying a dApp.
  • Creating a distributable with yarn dist requires code-signing certificates.
