Clone the repo and run First we need to install the rest of the dependencies that are not available in our system
```bash ```bash
make release cmake -Hdeps -B.deps \
-DUSE_BUNDLED_BOOST=OFF # if we already have boost & spdlog installed.
-DUSE_BUNDLED_SPDLOG=OFF
cmake --build .deps
``` ```
which invokes cmake and translates to We can now build nheko by pointing it to the path that we installed the dependencies.
```bash ```bash
cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=.deps/usr
