## Getting started

1. Download a copy of the `vessel` binary [from the release page](https://github.com/dfinity/vessel/releases) or build one yourself
1. For Ubuntu in `$HOME/bin` RUN `wget https://github.com/dfinity/vessel/releases/download/v0.6.1/vessel-linux64`

I'd probably tell people to run the wget, chmod +x and to then mv the resulting binary. That way they don't have to be in a specific directory for the instructions to work.

yeah that's a good idea, I'll change that :)

I'm not a MacOS expert, but is there maybe a user specific directory we could use rather than /usr/local/bin?

UPDATE 12-01-2018 At some point since I wrote my original answer, Apple changed its default $PATH. As a result, a lot of what I say below is irrelevant to recent Macs. If you type echo $PATH in a terminal, and /usr/local/bin is first, then you can ignore everything below about changing your $PATH.

I think it has to be high sierra at least in order for that to work but I'll double check and let you know. Thanks

2. Rename vessel-linux64 to vessel eg: RUN `mv vessel-linux64 vessel`
3. Change permissions, `chmod +x vessel`
2. Run `vessel init` in your project root.
3. Edit `vessel.dhall` to include your dependencies (potentially also edit
`package-set.dhall` to include additional package sources)
