## Building

`./build.sh`
To build the Asahi Linux installer, run the following command:

```sh
./build.sh
```

By default this will build m1n1 with chainloading support. You can optionally set the following environment variables to customize the build:

- `M1N1_STAGE1`: Path to a prebuilt m1n1 stage 1 binary.
- `LOGO`: Path to a logo in ICNS format.

These options are mainly useful for downstream distributions that want to customize or brand the installer.

**Note*** *Before building the Asahi Linux installer, ensure that all submodules are initialized and updated. Run the following commands:*

```sh
git submodule update --init --recursive
```

### Build Script Overview

The `build.sh` script performs several key steps to build the installer:

- Set Environment Variables
- Download Dependencies
- Copies Files & Certificates
- Build m1n1
- Creates a targall of the package and saves it to the releases directory.

## Deployment

To deploy the built installer, use the upload.sh script:

```sh
./upload.sh [prod|dev]
```

prod: Deploys to the production directory.
dev: Deploys to the development directory.


## Testing the Installer

To test the installer, use the following script:

```sh
test.sh
```
