Plan 9 from User Space ports Plan 9 libraries and programs to Unix systems.
About Plan9port
Plan9port is a GitHub repository that ports many Plan 9 libraries and programs to Unix systems. The project provides the Plan 9 from User Space software for use on those systems rather than on native Plan 9.
Installation is done from source. Running the included INSTALL script first builds mk, which then runs the remaining installation steps. Documentation is available online and, after a successful install, in the source tree. The introduction man page lists features that are new or differ from Plan 9. The repository's tags list Linux and macOS, but the source does not give a full list of supported platforms.
