Getting started
Install BxCachy, run the wizard, and find your way around.
Getting started
What you need
- CachyOS (or another Arch-based system with
pacman), x86_64. - A normal user with
sudo. The installer refuses to run as root. - A network connection.
Install
curl -fsSL {{ installUrl }} | bash
The installer:
- checks the machine;
- downloads the program and the install bundle for your channel and verifies their signature and SHA-256;
- installs packages, toolchains (Java 21,
bvm,mvm, BoxLang, MatchBox, Rust) and the core apps; - starts the setup wizard.
Its log is ~/.cache/bxcachy/install.log.
Without anyone at the keyboard
curl -fsSL {{ installUrl }} | bash -s -- --yes --answers answers.json
--yes never asks (it needs passwordless sudo). Without --answers, the wizard's default answers are applied. More options: --channel stable|beta, --no-wizard, --dry-run.
