# Cloning the Repository

Assuming you have Git installed, navigate to the directory where you want to store the Artinals codebase and run:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/artfilabs/artinalsprotocolv1.git
```

Replace `https://github.com/yourusername/artinals.git` with the actual repository URL. After cloning, navigate into the project directory:

```bash
cd artinalsprotocolv1
```

You should now see the Move modules and related files in the project structure.

### Building and Testing the Modules

With your prerequisites in place and the repository cloned, you can now build and test the modules.

#### Building the Modules

From within the project directory, run:

```bash
sui move build
```

This command:

* Checks the syntax and semantics of your Move code.
* Ensures that all dependencies and modules are valid.
* Produces a build artifact if everything is correct.

If successful, you’ll see a confirmation message. If you encounter errors, carefully read the output to identify syntax or dependency issues.
