Install Snakeoil Package

The old shell script installer method is officially dropped from Snakeoil 1.4.0 (Highend) onward.

Moving ahead we are using apt.

Install the curl package

sudo apt install curl

SSH or login locally to your target machine, and run the following commands to add the Snakeoil apt repository to your system:

# Download Snakeoil public key
curl -sSSL https://artifacts.snakeoil-os.net/apt-repo/snakeoilos-main.pgp | \
        sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/snakeoilos-main.pgp >/dev/null

# Add Snakeoil repository to system
echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/snakeoilos-main.pgp] \
    https://artifacts.snakeoil-os.net/apt-repo noble main' | \
    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/snakoeil-os.list

Next, you'll need to update your local  apt databases

sudo apt update

Install Snakeoil by running this:

sudo apt install snakeoil

Above operation will take a while as Snakeoil will need additional packages to function. Reboot the target machine once the Snakeoil installation is completed.

sudo reboot

If all goes well, your target machine is now runnin Snakeoil OS!

From another computer (or tablet) on the same network, start a web browser and enter the IP address of your target machine. And there you have it. Welcome to Snakeoil OS!

Notes:

1. Snakeoil only supports Noble Numbat at this point in time.
