# manjaro-arm-installer

Scripts for installing Manjaro ARM directly to SD/eMMC cards without the need for images.

This script is "interactive". Meaning that it asks you questions when run to customize your install. Like username, password etc.


## Dependencies (Arch package names):
* bash
* wget
* git
* systemd
* dialog
* parted
* libarchive
* binfmt-qemu-static
* openssl
* gawk
* dosfstools
* polkit

## Installing and using from Manjaro x64 repositories:
To use this script, please make sure that the following is correct:

* an **empty** SD/eMMC card with at least 8 GB storage is plugged in, but not mounted.
* that your user account has `sudo` rights.

Then install the `manjaro-arm-installer` package with:
```
sudo pacman -Syu manjaro-arm-installer
```
Then reboot. You can now launch the installer with:
```
sudo bash manjaro-arm-installer
```
Or with encryption support:
```
export CRYPT="y"
sudo bash manjaro-arm-installer
```
It will ask the crypt password twice (first to create it, the second one to open the device)

## Installing and using from gitlab:
To use this script, please make sure that the following is correct:

* an **empty** SD/eMMC card with at least 8 GB storage is plugged in, but not mounted.
* that your user account has `sudo` rights.

Then use this to get it:
```
git clone https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/applications/manjaro-arm-installer
cd manjaro-arm-installer
chmod +x manjaro-arm-installer
sudo bash ./manjaro-arm-installer
```

## Known Issues:
* Because `dialog` is weird, the script needs to be run in `bash`.

## Other notes:
This script is available in the **Manjaro** repository and can be installed with `sudo pacman -S manjaro-arm-installer`.

This script is also available as an **Arch** (*pkg.tar.xz*) package in my **Manjaro Strit** repo, called `manjaro-arm-installer`.

This script **should** be distro-agnostic, which means you can install *Manjaro ARM* from **any** distro, as long as the dependencies are met.
