First, set the executable bit on v.pl: chmod +x v.pl Next, create a WoT directory (V will look for '.wot' in the current working directory by default): mkdir -p .wot Then, place WoT pubkeys into the '.wot' directory. Name the pubkey files as such: .asc For example: mod6.asc 0x04]: It's my first time running V now what? First, check the available signed mirrors: ./v.pl m mirrors Then run the intial sync of the vpatches and seals from a given mirror: ./v.pl i http://thebitcoin.foundation 0x05]: Now that I've sync'd from a mirror, what's next? The rest is up to you, either refer to the Users Guide for a detailed description of each option in V or just execute V and read the long help message: ./v.pl help
