Script Execution
How does it work?
Github pages allows the developers to deploy a static website directly from their repositories. I set up github action so that the setup.py script gets copied to the index.html file in the gh-pages branch where it can be accessed from https://setup.developomp.com. The script then downloads necessary files and packages so it can start doing its thing.
Usage
The script assumes a clean installation of arch linux. That is, no extra packages installed already.
-
Install arch linux via archfi (included installer via archinstall coming soon).
-
download the setup script
curl -LO setup.developomp.com -
Execute it.
Full setup could easily take more than a hour depending on the internet speed.
