Dan Johansen a26f945494 Use pkg-cache on host system for packages 
We have used the pacman pkg cache on the SD card to always assure we get the newest packages.
But as some have pointed out, this makes the installer redownload all the packages again when rerun after a failed installation attempt.
This change makes us create a new pkg-cache on the host system, which we then mount into the SD card's filesystem,
so it can be used by pacman. This would make the installer only download new and/or failed packages if rerun.
Fixes #15.

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

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.
  • 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 -s
clear && bash manjaro-arm-installer

Known Issues:

  • Because dialog is weird, the script needs to be run in bash.

Supported Devices:

  • Pinebook
  • Pinebook Pro (new)
  • Raspberry Pi 3B
  • raspberry Pi 4
  • Rock64

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.
