Omarell is a personalized fork of Omakub, the one-liner tool that turns a fresh Ubuntu install into a modern development environment. It builds on Omakub with targeted tweaks for a more streamlined and opinionated Linux setup.
The name comes from umarell, the Italian archetype of a retiree watching construction sites with a critical eye. Likewise, Omarell keeps tabs on the evolving Omarchy project, selectively adopting useful changes while staying grounded on a stable, proven base.

Omarell is designed to transform a fresh Ubuntu Server LTS installation into a complete development environment. Make sure you have:
- A fresh Ubuntu Server LTS installation (24.04)
- A stable internet connection (the setup downloads packages and extensions)
- At least 30 minutes for the complete installation process
To install Omarell, simply run the following command in your terminal:
curl -sSL https://omakasui.org/omarell | bashYou can also install Omarell in its "development" version to experiment and/or contribute, but you accept all the risks involved (and a few coffees won't always be enough). This is the command, for the brave:
curl -sSL https://omakasui.org/omarell-dev | bashNote
If you're looking for the stable Ubuntu Desktop-based version (v1.x), you can find it in the legacy branch.
Run: eval "$(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kasui92/omarell/legacy/boot.sh)"
- Built on Ubuntu Server: A lean and stable LTS foundation, stripped of superfluous services and packages.
- Minimal yet GNOME-powered: Only the essential GNOME components, with Wayland as the default session and no unnecessary bloat.
- No Snaps. Ever.: Snap is completely removed. Applications are sourced from Flatpak or directly from trusted packages.
- Smart window management: Pre-configured tiling with Forge extension, 6 workspaces, and keyboard-driven workflow optimizations.
- Silent post-install magic: The setup continues automatically after reboot—fully hands-off, zero interaction required.
- Umarell spirit, Omakub roots: Forked from Omakub, driven by the same passion for usability, but with the hands-on curiosity and practical eye of an Umarell.
