Installing rtinst

1 Installation of rtinst

Installing rtinst just takes a few seconds. First download the setup script, rtsetup:

wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arakasi72/rtinst/master/rtsetup

Then run the script. If you run it with no arguments (or the argument "release" it will install the latest release)

    sudo bash rtsetup

You can rerun rtsetup if you wish to change the release or branch of rtinst. You no longer need to explicitly use "bash" to launch rtsetup, as it has been installed, with all the other rtinst scripts.

For example:

Install the master branch build

     sudo rtsetup master

Install the latest release

    sudo rtsetup release

Install a specific release

    sudo rtsetup v1.00

After the initial install if you run it with no arguments, it will reinstall the existing release.

To check which version you are currently using run the script rtversion (available from v1.0.1)

    rtversion

2 Which release/branch should I use

Generally speaking it is best to use the latest numbered release. They will be stable, you can run rtgetscripts to upgrade to the latest release after the initial install.

You can use the master build. This should be fairly stable, but not as much testing, so occasionally there may be problems. I would strongly advise against using any other branches, as they tend to be unstable, and transient.

Also there are unnumbered releases that address more specific and less typical requirements, such as installing a seedbox on older unsupported OS distributions. For example the release deb7ubu12 is used to install on the older Debian 7 and Ubuntu 12 OS's
