I just booted with a new temporary ID and it took 50 seconds to generate the cryptographic key. After 3-4 minutes, Urbit had bootstrapped itself and was accessible over HTTP.

You can try with these commands, using Mac in this example:

  mkdir urbit
  cd urbit
  curl -JLO https://urbit.org/install/mac/latest
  tar zxvf ./darwin.tgz --strip=1
  ./urbit -c mycomet
