#The Nerv Toolkit User Manual#
This user manual will information about how to use __Nerv__ and __Nerv__'s interface.
+##How to use##
+First make sure you have __lua__ and __CUDA__ installed on your computer.

+```
+cd ~
+git clone https://github.com/Determinant/nerv.git
+cd nerv
+git submodule init && git submodule update
+make
+```
+The `git submodule` command is for the __luajit__ repository inside __Nerv__.
+Now, you can try to run some example scripts.
