About

AurixOS is a general-purpose operating system, meant to take security, performance and usability to the next level.

Getting Started

Latest official releases of AurixOS are available for download here.

Prerequisites

If you have Homebrew installed, simply run brew bundle to install all required build dependencies (incl. packages to build AurixOS for every supported architecture). Alternatively, read the Brewfile in the root of this repository and install the required (and optional) packages manually.

Building

To build AurixOS, simply run make in the root directory of this repository. To change the build architecture, run make ARCH=arch, where arch is the target architecture (Default is set to x86_64).

Building AurixOS images is also supported with Make recipes:

• release_iso builds a CD-ROM image (.iso)
• release_usb builds a USB image (.img)

All images reside in the release/ directory and follow this naming scheme: aurixos-[MEDIA]-[GIT_REV]_[ARCH].iso

make help shows you all available build options

Running

To run AurixOS on QEMU, run make run (optionally, append ARCH=arch if you're building/running AurixOS on an architecture other than x86_64).

Alternatively, you can boot AurixOS on a physical machine by running dd if=release/<usb-image>.img of=/dev/<target USB drive> bs=1M and booting off of this USB drive.

Support

If you have any questions, feel free to open a GitHub issue.
