Thank you for the interest and the feedback. It's true that Incant documentation made the assumption that Incus is available and configured. I improved the README.md file, added a pointer to it in the man page, and also added a pointer to the website in the manpage, since that provides a rendered version of the README. I also added a Recommends on incus (technically, incant can work with only incus-client, using a remote incus server, so a Depend would be incorrect). > May be a vagrant-compat-incant or something if these cannot > be automated in incant directly?

I'm not sure of the best way to reduce the "initial setup" step. Lucas
