Nova installation?

Haven't been able to find any build instructions or a binary download for Nova. Anyone know how to get it?

Looks like a Lazarus Project in Free Pascal. Should be able to open the lpi file with Lazarus: https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

I was able to get it compiled:

Install Lazarus IDE
hg clone https://hg.sr.ht/~m15o/nova
Open nova/nova.lpi in Lazarus
In Lazarus, go to Run > Compile
The nova binary will be in the project directory. Click to run it.

Thank you, this worked. I was able to test Nova and It seems to work fine with IPv4 but with my server on Yggdrasil it just says "Failed to get data: Host name resolution for "thedomain" failed.", (well except that it says what the domain is, instead of simply "thedomain"). I also tried connecting to it using just the Ygg ip instead of the domain and that did not work either, so it seems to me that IPv6 probably doesn't work. Also, links kind of just look like text, you can tell that they are links since they start with => and the url ends with a /, but they don't look like links. In Lagrange and Gelim you can quickly spot all the links on a page because they are coloured, (and numbered on Gelim).
