Building buskill-app

This section documents how to build the BusKill App.

Note

Our build scripts are designed to be run on GitHub’s shared runners – disposable cloud instances. Therefore, our build scripts may make system-wide package changes and they may not cleanup at the end of their execution.

We recommend that you execute these on a fresh disposable VM and take a snapshot before proceeding.
