Testing
For testing this is the process I follow
1. Install Virtual Box
you'll want to obtain virtualbox for whichever distro / OS you're on. You can go here and grab it: virtualbox
2. Install Arch linux iso installer
You can download the arch linux iso installer here: Arch iso
after you have it downloaded we can move onto using virtual box.
3. Fork / Clone our Repo
visit our GH here, oh wait you're already here! (or if theres online documentation then here!)
you can clone the repo by running
git clone https://github.com/uta-lug-nuts/LnOS.git
if you plan on contributing please Fork our Repo
4. Launch Virtualbox and Configure your iso
You should initially see something like this.
Next what you'll want to do is click New
from there will be a popup that asks you a few things, you can fill out the information like this: 
then click settings
From inside settings, click on Shared Folder
- click on the little + next to shared folders
- You'll get this popup that will ask you for the folder path and name, I recommend you link the Fork or cloned version of LnOS repo to this so that as you make changes to the scripts they stay up to date.
5. Running the VM
Simply Click Start and the VM will fire up, you'll want to select install medium: ![[images/Pasted image 20250716193037.png]] Once you're in you can start testing the scripts by running
/mnt/scripts/installer.sh --target=x86_64
or you can just copy the installer to the current directory you're in
cp -R /mnt/
# Then run the cool scripts underneath here

- Future Testing Documentation will be written here as we go.
- First iteration will be testing on x86_64 first, we'll move to arm later since I doubt many students would utilize it as of now (especially with the project just starting)
