cachyos-new-installer

CLI net-installer for CachyOS, inspired by manjaro-architect

This installer provides online installation for CachyOS.

Requirements

C++20 feature required (tested with GCC 11.1.0 and Clang 13(clang will not compile it with libstdc++ 11.1.0 because of c++20 standard ranges library) Any compiler which support C++20 standard should work.

Installing from source

This is tested on Arch Linux, but any recent Linux with latest C++20 compiler should do:

sudo pacman -Sy \
    base-devel cmake pkg-config make glibmm libnm

Cloning the source code

git clone https://github.com/cachyos/new-cli-installer.git
cd new-cli-installer

Building and Configuring

cmake(recommended):

To build, first, configure it(if you intend to install it globally, you might also want -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr):

cmake -S . -B build

Second, build it:

cmake --build build

meson:

To build, first, configure it (if you intend to install it globally, you might also want --prefix=/usr):

meson build

Second, compile it:

meson compile -C build

Optionally, to disable developer environment: pass -DENABLE_DEVENV=OFF to cmake or -Ddevenv=false to meson when configuring the project.

Libraries used in this project

Functional Terminal (X) User interface used for TUI.
A modern formatting library used for formatting strings, output and logging.
Fast C++ logging library used for logging process of the installer.
Parsing gigabytes of JSON per second used for config deserialization.
Curl for People used for connection check and maybe in future fetching netinstall config from github.
Ranges used for ranges support with clang.
