v_mod6_genesis 40 0x03]: How do I setup V?
v_mod6_genesis 41
v_mod6_genesis 42 First, set the executable bit on v.pl:
v_mod6_genesis 43
v_mod6_genesis 44 chmod +x v.pl
v_mod6_genesis 45
v_mod6_genesis 46 Next, create a WoT directory (V will look for '.wot' in the current working
v_mod6_genesis 47 directory by default):
v_mod6_genesis 48
v_mod6_genesis 49 mkdir -p .wot
v_mod6_genesis 50
v_mod6_genesis 51 Then, place WoT pubkeys into the '.wot' directory. Name the pubkey files
v_mod6_genesis 52 as such: <wotid>.asc
v_mod6_genesis 53
v_mod6_genesis 54 For example: mod6.asc
v_mod6_genesis 55
v_mod6_genesis 56 0x04]: It's my first time running V now what?
v_mod6_genesis 57
v_mod6_genesis 58 First, check the available signed mirrors:
v_mod6_genesis 59
v_mod6_genesis 60 ./v.pl m mirrors
v_mod6_genesis 61
v_mod6_genesis 62 Then run the intial sync of the vpatches and seals from a given mirror:
v_mod6_genesis 63
v_mod6_genesis 64 ./v.pl i http://thebitcoin.foundation
v_mod6_genesis 65
v_mod6_genesis 66 0x05]: Now that I've sync'd from a mirror, what's next?
v_mod6_genesis 67
v_mod6_genesis 68 The rest is up to you, either refer to the Users Guide for a detailed
v_mod6_genesis 69 description of each option in V or just execute V and read the long
v_mod6_genesis 70 help message:
