INSTALL.md

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Download packages

We borrow rpm packages from fedora 41, because we won't build all components ourselves. Download all packages using wget !

$ wget -ci packages.txt

for the alternative, we can use a script.

$ bash packages_downloader.sh

Extract packages

After all packages are downloaded, we can extract it usng rpm and cpio.

$ for rpm in *.rpm; do rpm2cpio $rpm | cpio -idm; done

Copy all extracted files and directories

After we extract all packages, we will get usr and etc directory. We can copy all files under usr and etc to /usr and /etc.

$ sudo cp -r usr/* /usr/
$ sudo cp -r etc/* /etc/

Launch Cosmic desktop

Now launch Cosmic desktop with your prefered display manager, I use tbsm personally and it works great.

Updated... Alpha 3 version. We use rpm packages from fedora 41 now. We need to install cosmic-idle and cosmic-files so the desktop will launch.
