First you have to install the dependencies. This depends on your Linux distribution. If unsure you can try lsb_release -d to check your distribution.

The master branch of Amoveo uses Ubuntu 18.4 or Ubuntu 20.4 The verkle branch of Amoveo uses Ubuntu 22.4

Then install dependencies using the instructions for your distribution:

• Ubuntu
• ArchLinux

Finally proceed to instructions after dependencies

   lsb_release -a
