From a source checkout, use `v run setup.vsh`. The script supports Ubuntu and
Debian, Fedora, Arch, openSUSE, macOS, and Windows with winget.
It installs native Vulkan tools and the VPM module, then verifies the result.
On Linux it installs a C compiler, Vulkan runtime tools, and the VPM module;
the bundled headers and Volk need no distribution development packages. The
macOS and Windows helpers still use the Vulkan SDK to provide runtime tooling,
but its headers are not required to compile this module. The script then
verifies the result.
For a read-only support check, run:
