Getting Started

Installing ModularOS

To get started using ModularOS, please download the Installer.lua file to a ComputerCraft or ComputerCraft:Tweaked computer then run it. The download automatically gets the latest version of all files and the startup script will check for available updates automatically. Unless during install you specify wether or not to auto-update.

Caution

Make sure to delete autoupdate section of startup script on old installations because only with installer will it ask you weather or not to auto update! The auto update section is startup/STARTUP.lua lines 9 to 29 or

if lversion > version then
    term.setBackgroundColor( colors.yellow )
    term.clear()
    printError("Updating")
    term.setCursorPos(20, 8)
    sleep(2)
    term.clear()
    term.write("Press Enter to update to new version")
    a = read()
    if a == "" then
        shell.run("delete /startup")
        shell.run("delete Installer.lua")
        shell.run("wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NiftyNarwhal11/ModularOS/main/Installer.lua?token=GHSAT0AAAAAACRUSC4C5YDZTPOSL6YTRJ64ZRTR2EA Installer.lua")
        shell.run("Installer.lua")
        
    else
        shell.run("/.os/.password")
    end
    else
        shell.run("/.os/.password")
end
