An installer for open-source operating systems. See the wiki for goals, design spec, user flow, and details about each step.
You'll need the following dependencies:
- meson
- desktop-file-utils
- gettext
- gparted
- libgnomekbd-dev
- libgranite-dev >= 0.5
- libgtk-3-dev
- libgee-0.8-dev
- libjson-glib-dev
- libpwquality-dev
- libxml2-dev
- libxml2-utils
- distinst
- valac
Run meson build to configure the build environment. Change to the build directory and run ninja test to build and run automated tests.
meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
ninja test
To install, use ninja install, then execute with horizon-installer. Note that listing drives and actually installing requires root.
sudo ninja install
horizon-installer
You can also use --test mode for development to disable destructive behaviors like installing, restarting, and shutting down:
horizon-installer --test
For debug messages, set the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable, e.g. to all:
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all horizon-installer
