The first\n\u003e iteration is a fork of **void-installer** — the installer shipped in\n\u003e [void-mklive](https://github.com/void-linux/void-mklive) — as a beta stopgap;\n\u003e the long-term target is a ground-up rewrite in **Go**, modeled on\n\u003e [clr-installer](https://github.com/clearlinux/clr-installer).\n\n## What it does\n\nslinstaller partitions the target disk, lays down the Sunlight Linux base\nsystem, installs the bootloader, and configures the first boot — including\n[slinit](https://github.com/sunlightlinux/slinit) as PID 1.\n\n## Target requirements\n\n- **UEFI firmware.** Sunlight Linux is UEFI-only: the installer creates a GPT\n  layout with an EFI System Partition (ESP) and registers a boot entry with\n  `efibootmgr`. BIOS/MBR boot is not supported.\n\n## Building / Running\n\nImplementation is in progress; the commands below describe the intended flow.\n\n- **Go target:**\n  ```bash\n  go build ./...      # produces the slinstaller binary\n  go test ./...\n  ```\n- **Stopgap (void-installer fork):** shell-based; runs as root from the live\n  medium. The live medium / ISO is built with\n  [void-mklive](https://github.com/void-linux/void-mklive), which is also where\n  upstream `void-installer` lives.\n\n\u003e ⚠️ The installer performs **destructive, irreversible** operations\n\u003e (partitioning, formatting, bootloader install). Always exercise changes in a\n\u003e VM (QEMU + OVMF for UEFI) against a scratch image — never on a disk with data\n\u003e you care about.\n\n## Where this fits\n\nslinstaller is one of the five projects in the Sunlight Linux tree, wired up\nvia [slmanifests](https://github.com/sunlightlinux/slmanifests):\n\n```bash\nrepo init -u https://github.com/sunlightlinux/slmanifests.git -b main\nrepo sync -j4\n# slinstaller lands at src/installer/\n```\n\n## Documentation\n\n- [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) — how to contribute (and the safety rules)\n- [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) — reporting security issues\n- [CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) — community standards\n- [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md) / [EXAMPLES.md](EXAMPLES.md) — guidelines for\n  LLM-assisted work on the installer\n\n## License\n\n[Apache License 2.0](LICENSE).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsunlightlinux%2Fslinstaller","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsunlightlinux%2Fslinstaller","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsunlightlinux%2Fslinstaller/lists"}
