Download and Install Glacier

Glacier is relatively easy to install and set up, and there are multiple ways to do so. Choose the way you prefer.

Everest Linux

On an Everest system, Glacier is already installed. Since the entire package management system is so deeply rooted on an Everest system compared to other distributions, uninstalling or reinstalling Glacier is not recommended.

If, for some reason, you require a new version of Glacier, this can be done by pulling in a new base system from Git:

(user)$ cd /

(root)# git pull

Stable Release

The preferred way to get Glacier is through a stable release. These have been tried and tested, and have proven to work.

Download a release tarball:

DO THIS LATER

Unpack the tarball:

(user)$ tar xf glacier-X.X.X.tar.xz

Change directory into glacier-X.X.X/install:

Change config.mk to suit your needs:

(user)$ $EDITOR config.mk

Install:

(root)# make install

Git Release

Git releases are typically more unstable than stable tarball releases, but provide experimental features.

The steps for installing from a Git release are practically the same as installing from a tarball.

Instead of downloading a tarball, run the following:

(user)$ git clone https://git.everestlinux.org/EverestLinux/glacier
