0x00]: Introduction

  Welcome to V!

  This document is intended for the advanced user.  This will get you up and
  running quickly with V.

0x01]: What's required?

    0x010: perl 5.005 or greater
    0x011: cpan | cpanm [CPAN | cpanminus]
    0x012: Graph::Easy [Nice to have, not required]
    0x013: graphviz [Nice to have, not required]
    0x014: gpg [GnuPG 1.4.x]
    0x015: wget
	0x016: cat
	0x017: echo
	0x018: ls
	0x019: mkdir

0x02]: Where do I get V ?

    curl -s http://thebitcoin.foundation/v/V-20180222.tar.gz \
    -o V-20180222.tar.gz
    curl -s http://thebitcoin.foundation/v/V-20180222.tar.gz.mod6.sig \
    -o V-20180222.tar.gz.mod6.sig

    gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net \
    --recv-keys 0x027A8D7C0FB8A16643720F40721705A8B71EADAF

    gpg --verify V-20180222.tar.gz.mod6.sig V-20180222.tar.gz

    If the signature is good, now extract the archive.

    tar -xf V-20180222.tar.gz

0x03]: How do I setup V?

    First, set the executable bit on v.pl:

    chmod +x v.pl

    Next, create a WoT directory (V will look for '.wot' in the current working
    directory by default):

    mkdir -p .wot

    Then, place WoT pubkeys into the '.wot' directory.  Name the pubkey files
    as such: <wotid>.asc

    For example: mod6.asc

0x04]: It's my first time running V now what?

    First, check the available signed mirrors:

    ./v.pl m mirrors

    Then run the initial sync of the vpatches and seals from a given mirror:

    ./v.pl i http://thebitcoin.foundation

0x05]: Now that I've sync'd from a mirror, what's next?

    The rest is up to you, either refer to the Users Guide for a detailed
    description of each option in V or just execute V and read the long
    help message:

    ./v.pl help
