# HACKING

*Work in progress.*

Heartwood is the third iteration of the Radicle Protocol, a powerful

peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack. The repository contains a

full implemention of Heartwood, complete with a user-friendly command-line

interface (`rad`) and network daemon (`radicle-node`).

Radicle was designed to be a secure, decentralized and powerful alternative to

code forges such as GitHub and GitLab that preserves user sovereignty

and freedom.

**Requirements**

* *Linux* or *Unix* based operating system.

* Git 2.34 or later

* OpenSSH 9.1 or later with `ssh-agent`

### 📦 From source

> Requires the Rust toolchain.

You can install the Radicle stack from source, by running the following

commands from inside this repository:

    cargo install --path radicle-cli --force --locked

    cargo install --path radicle-node --force --locked

    cargo install --path radicle-remote-helper --force --locked

Or directly from our seed node:
