#+title: Instructions ** information This org document is a list of instructions on how to install the whole setup of my personal system, including installation of standalone programs. ** installing fedora minimal with btrfs snapshots (snapper) this sections assumes that you know how to use sway (window manager), neovim (text editor), basic terminal shell commands, burn an iso to disk, as well as using the anaconda installer. get the os image (Fedora Everything) from here https://alt.fedoraproject.org/en/ and burn it to your usb/other. *** verifying the iso file 1. Download the checksum file (from https://alt.fedoraproject.org/en/) into the same directory as the image you downloaded. 2. Import Fedora's GPG key(s) #+BEGIN_SRC sh curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.gpg #+END_SRC 3. Verify the CHECKSUM file is valid #+BEGIN_SRC sh gpgv --keyring ./fedora.gpg *-CHECKSUM #+END_SRC 4. Verify the checksum matches #+BEGIN_SRC sh sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM #+END_SRC *** installing fedora and setting up btrfs with snapshots differences/notes before continuing with the installation: 1. some dependencies aren't available with 'fedora custom operating system'. before installing snapper make sure to install these packages: #+BEGIN_SRC sh sudo dnf install neovim sway firefox locate git bzip2 #+END_SRC a) neovim is the text editor of my choice b) install a browser such as firefox to follow along guide c) locate, git, bzip2 are the missing dependencies not included in the guide. 2. software selection will be 'fedora custom operating system' boot your fedora installer media and follow this guide, make sure to boot with EUFI mode: https://sysguides.com/install-fedora-38-with-snapshot-and-rollback-support/ ** how to make new user and add to wheel #+BEGIN_SRC sh #
