I ran cargo install pijul --version "~1.0.0-beta" on my macOS box this morning, and the build failed for lack of something named “libxxhash”.

The fix is easy (I used brew install libxxhash), but of course OS- and distribution- specific. I might suggest mentioning the requirement on https://pijul.org/downloads , maybe just a note like “system dependencies include libxxhash”.

Thanks for the neat tool.. we used Darcs back in the day (on Tahoe-LAFS for a year or two), and it’s nice to see the core concepts being further developed and improved upon.

Or, now that I actually looked at https://pijul.org/manual/installing.html , maybe the note could just say “see the manual for the necessary system dependencies”.
