Building SteamFork

Minimal SteamFork

Install SteamFork using the release image onto a PC or in a virtual machine. Building the OS requires ~20GB of free space. To install a minimal SteamFork instance using the minimal image, build and boot the image and then install using the steamfork-installer tool.

Ex. steamfork-installer --drive /dev/sda --username builder --password SteamFork --root_password SteamFork

Building Images

Log in as your user and perform the following steps to configure the OS for building:

  1. Clone the SteamFork distribution repository: git clone https://github.com/SteamFork/distribution.git
  2. Build rel (stable) or minimal (no UI) SteamFork install media: cd distribution && make image rel

Optional:

  1. Enable SSH for remote access: sudo steamos-readonly disable && sudo systemctl enable sshd
