Installing

Introduction

After downloading a version of Floflis, read this page for official instructions on installing.

Before installing

Note: You can skip this step if your device have enough storage space available. If the target device is limited (like a WiFi router), this pre-install step will be needed; but if you'd already downloaded the Lite version, you can skip into the next step.

If you wish to remove the updates module (which includes .git folder), please copy the Floflis DNA folder, so you will have a copy which you can update (git pull).

Inside the clonned/downloaded extracted folder, open Terminal and type the following:

sudo chmod 755 init.sh && sudo ./init.sh

Respond to questions and the script will configure the installer for you. After done, you can move the Floflis DNA folder to your device. Done, you made your own build of Floflis DNA Lite version.

Installing

Assuming Floflis DNA folder is on the target device, run the following command inside its folder:

sudo chmod 755 install.sh && sudo ./install.sh

Insert your password, and Floflis will be installed.
