# Contributing guide
Thank you for investing your time in contributing to the Pimalaya stream project.
## Development
The development environment is managed by [Nix](https://nixos.org/download.html).
Running `nix-shell` will spawn a shell with everything you need to get started with the lib.
If you do not want to use Nix, you can either use [rustup](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/index.html):
```
rustup update
```
or install manually the following dependencies:
- [cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/)
- [rustc](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rustc/platform-support.html) (`>= 1.87`)
## Build
```
cargo build
```
## Test
```
cargo test
```
