For more details about capabilities, design, goals, current development, roadmap, changelogs, notes on contributing and so on, please refer to the arcan-wiki. There is also a website that collects other links, announcements, releases, videos / presentations and so on.

The repository will be synched to github for the time being, but no active development activities there. See fossil.arcan-fe.com. Getting Started ==== Some distributions, e.g. voidlinux have most of arcan as part of its packages, so you can save yourself some work going for one of those. Other ones with an active community would be through Nix (for example: nix-shell -p arcan.all-wrapped).
