Thanks for the steps, I will give a try in my free time..

Subject: RE: [Clr-dev] Offline Clear Linux Installation
I think you should be able to just 'dd' the live image on your disk and boot it like that. The downside is that you only have what's in the live image (i.e. not much beyond the core OS)
Mixer is what you want to create your own 'fork' of Clear Linux. If you do *not* want to deviate from the upstream Clear Linux (and want to be able to use the updates posted on https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__download.clearlinux.org…), then your best option would be to create a custom image that includes the bundles you want (and based on the Clear Linux version you want). You can use https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ister.py&d=DwIFAg&c=gJN… to build such image and flash it onto your disk (using 'dd'). This is something that's worked for me (but is not documented on the website as far as I know). Here are the steps I followed:
On your Clear Linux dev machine (so one that has all Clear Linux dev tools such as mixer, ister, etc.) 1. Tweak an image config file - see below for one that I used myself [1], I used this one as the baseline [2]
Note that I also use a specific version of Clear Linux in there as I wanted to reproduce the exact set-up from one my colleague 2. Build the image: "sudo https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ister.py&d=DwIFAg&c=gJN… -t my-image.json"
3. Compress the disk: "xz release.img"
4. Boot your target off any Linux distro (e.g. Clear Linux USB stick) 5. Flash your image onto the internal disk, e.g. (assuming a SATA disk as /dev/sda): "unxz -k release.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/sda"
6. Reboot your target machine (and unplug the USB stick), it should boot Clear Linux 7. (Optional, but recommended) Resize your partition (set to 20GB in the my-image.json file below) to use the entire disk, this guide can help you do that: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__clearlinux.org_documen… (this is the reason I have the "storage-utils" bundle in my my-image.json file).
Good luck, and I hope this helps.

Yes. Syntax for the config file will be yaml instead of json though.
Beta testers welcome. :)

Lua/luajit/luarocks are tiny, and currently we only have plain
lua, but in order to get it you have to install 1gb of "stuff"
to get it. Luarocks is additionally essential for Lua ecosystem
packages.
