# Developing Gitnuro
## Installing libssh
Gitnuro depends on libssh being present as an external, native library (
using [JNA](https://github.com/java-native-access/jna)).
While the release GitHub workflow packages it automatically, you'll need to install it manually when developing locally,
such that it's available on the `$PATH`. See [here](https://www.libssh.org/get-it/) for one-liner installation
instructions with your OS's package manager, or manually download a binary or compile it from source and place it in the
