Installation

1. Install Python 3, Docker, and git.

   On Arch: pacman -S python docker git --needed --noconfirm

   After installing Docker you will have to add your user to the `docker` group:
   
   `sudo usermod -aG docker "$(whoami)"`
   
   Then restart your desktop session for the new group to take effect.
   

2. Pick which Kupferbootstrap branch to clone: usually either main or dev

3. Clone the repository: git clone -b INSERT_BRANCHNAME_HERE https://gitlab.com/kupfer/kupferbootstrap

4. Change into the folder: cd kupferbootstrap

5. Install python dependencies: pip3 install -r requirements.txt

   Most of our python dependencies are available as distro packages on most distros,
   sadly it's incomplete on Arch.
   
   See `requirements.txt` for the list of required python packages.
   

6. Symlink kupferbootstrap into your $PATH: sudo ln -s "$(pwd)/bin/kupferbootstrap" /usr/local/bin/

7. You should now be able to run kupferbootstrap --help!
