GoboRootless Installer simplifies the process of getting a GoboRootless installation up and running on your Mac or Linux machine. Currently Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala have been tested. Mac OS X requires MacPorts (http://www.macports.org/install.php) to bootstrap the installation.

The first step is to copy the configuration.sh.template file to a file named configuration.sh residing in the same folder as the goborootless.sh script. Alternatively, pass the -c <configuration file> option to specify a configuration file residing in a different location. You can customize the programs to be installed by editing the configuration file. The list of available programs is here: http://recipes.gobolinux.org/r/.

The next step is to cd to the folder where you want to install GoboRootless (the installer will create a folder called "GoboRootless" inside this folder) and execute goborootless.sh. Alternatively, pass the -i <install folder> option to install GoboRootless inside a specific folder.

You can override the default GoboLinux recipes by passing the -r <recipes folder> option. The recipes folder should contain your custom recipes.

Passing the -h option will print a brief help message containing a summary of the available options.

Please send any feedback to the GoboLinux Users mailing list: gobolinux-users@lists.gobolinux.org. Thanks.
