|
## Building
|
|
|
|
The build process only needs xorriso, curl, zstd, fakeroot and bsdtar on the host. If you wish to use the ``make img`` option, you will need mtools. All other needed packages will be installed/built on the container.
|
|
|
|
To build the project, run ``make``. This will create a file named ``astral.iso``
|
|
|
|
After this, if you wish to create an ext2 disk image, run ``make disk``
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
You can download the latest release from github and run it in the virtual machine of your liking.
|
|
For QEMU the following command is recommended:
|
|
``qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -M q35 -m 2g -cdrom astral.iso``
|
|
|
|
There are a few targets in the makefile to run Astral with qemu when built from source:
|
|
|
|
``make run``
|
|
|
|
``make run-kvm``
|
|
|
|
``make run-disk`` (if you built the disk image)
|
|
|
|
``make run-disk-kvm`` (if you built the disk image)
