Getting Started
To install PeterOS, run the following command in the computer craft shell and follow the onscreen prompts:
wget run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Platratio34/peterOS/master/networkInstaller.luaIf it errors, ie. if red text appears on the screen and the last line in the shell you see is >, then reboot the computer and run:
osUpdate yWhen prompted for a password, enter root and press enter.
The operating system should not be installed. If it has, it should say:
Starting PeterOS
Finished Loading PeterOS Vx.x
home>If not, consult the FAQ for help solving the error on screen.
PeterOS has a user-like system that means that certain actions, like installing programs, require being the super user to do.
The default password for the super user is root and can be changed with password
To run an action as the super user use sudo.
sudo [program] [arguments...]Stands for: super user do. It allows you to run another program as the super user, but does not keep you logged in as the super user.
If you are going to need to run a bunch of actions as the super user, you can user su to switch the super user, then logout when you are done.
It is recommended to use sudo when possible as it limits accidents when doing things as the super user.
Allows you to change the super user password, requires you to enter the current password.
PeterOS uses a Unix like file system tree.
This means that most of you personal files will be under /home/ rather than in the computer root.
Any file under /home/startup/ will be run whenever the computer starts.
This can be used to automatically mount FTP connections, or similar actions.
Any file in the root directory of the computer or under /os/ are part of the operating system, and therefore can not be edited without super user permissions. Programs are installed under /os/bin/[programName]/ by pgm-get, and /os/lib/ contains several useful libraries that can be gotten in Lua with pos.require(path).
Program-get is the default program installation program, and can be used to install and update all of the programs I have created for the operating system.
Installing programs requires you to be logged in as the super user using either sudo or su.
Specific information can be found on the pgm-get GitHub repository.
osUpdate [y] [-v version]OS Update allows you to update the operating system version.
Pass y as the first argument to skip the overwrite prompt.
