📥 Installation Guide

1. Clone the Repository

https://github.com/Vector-OS/Vector-Operating-System
cd Vector-Opreating-System

2. Install Dependencies (if required)

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential qemu

3. Build the OS

make build

4. Run the OS in an Emulator

make run

5. Burn to USB (Optional)

dd if=vectoros.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress && sync

📌 Usage
