Tealinux Installer

A Linux installer made exclusively for TealinuxOS, built with Tauri and SvelteKit.

Prequisites

• rust
• bun
• tauri

Linux Dependency

• lshw
• rsync
• fuse2
• gcc-libs
• webkit2gtk-4.1
• libappindicator-gtk3
• appmenu-gtk-module

To install the required dependencies on a Linux system using pacman, run the following command:

sudo pacman -Sy webkit2gtk-4.1 base-devel curl wget file openssl appmenu-gtk-module libappindicator-gtk3 librsvg lshw dmidecode rsync fuse2 gcc-libs ccache

Running

Install all dependencies:

bun install

Running the project:

bunx tauri dev

Building

To build and bundle into an executable:

bunx tauri build

# if encountering error running image.sh
NO_STRIP=true bunx tauri build

the TEALINUX_BUILD env accepting two mode

• dev this type of build will stop installer touching dangerous parts, essential safe for frontend development
• prod (or explicitly production) this type of build will execute the dangerous parts (such partitioning, format, etc), this also will instruct internal parts library to use real system call instead use dummy data (i.e os-probe output)

this environment evaluation is executed only on build time, the resulted binary must be presistent.

example

# create final executable
TEALINUX_BUILD=prod bunx tauri build

# or run dev instead
TEALINUX_BUILD=dev bunx tauri dev

# if you doing backend development
TEALINUX_BUILD=prod bunx tauri dev

TypeScript Bindings

This project uses tauri-specta to provide type-safe communication between the Rust backend and the Frontend. The bindings are generated into src/types/bindings.ts.

If you modify Rust commands or structs, you must regenerate the bindings manually. We use unit tests to generate them to avoid file permission issues (since the app runs as root).

To regenerate bindings:

cd src-tauri && cargo test
