Getting started

From a downloaded image to a booted system.

  • What is Obarun

    What the distribution actually is, and who it is for.

    Read first

  • Download and write the ISO

    Where the images are, how to verify one, how to write it to a USB stick.

    Get an image

  • Install with the wizard

    obinstall, the browser based installer that comes on the live media.

    Guided install

  • Install from the command line

    obinstall-cli, driven by a single TOML file, for automation and repeats.

    Declarative install

  • Install from an Arch host

    Bootstrap Obarun onto a target partition from a running Arch system or an Arch live medium. The host stays Arch.

    Install from Arch

  • Manual UEFI installation

    Partition, mount and bootstrap by hand on a UEFI machine.

    Do it by hand

  • First boot

    What to check once the new system comes up for the first time.
