# Redox OS installer

The Redox installer will allow you to produce a Redox OS image. You will
be able to specify:
- Output device (raw image, ISO, QEMU, VirtualBox, drive)
- Filesystem
- Included packages
- Method of installation (from source, from binary)
- User accounts

You will be prompted to install dependencies, based on your OS and method of
installation. The easiest method is to install from binaries.

## Usage

It is recommended to compile with `cargo`, in release mode:
```bash
cargo build --release
```

By default, you will be prompted to supply configuration options. You can
use the scripted mode by supplying a configuration file:
```bash
cargo run --release -- config/example.toml
```
An example configuration can be found in [config/example.toml](./config/example.toml).
Unsuplied configuration will use the default. You can use the `general.prompt`
setting to prompt when configuration is not set. Multiple configurations can
be specified, they will be built in order.

## Embedding

The installer can also be used inside of other crates, as a library:

```toml
# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
redox_installer = "0.1"
```

```rust
// src/main.rs
extern crate redox_installer;

fn main() {    
    let mut config = redox_installer::Config::default();
    ...
    redox_installer::install(config);
}
```
