Pre-bundled installations of unicornpkg and its CLI tools, ready to use.
wget run the install.lua file in the repo's root directory. This will bootstrap the directory structure and install the required files.
The entrypoint for users is ./install.lua, which downloads the latest install.lua.sfx from the GitHub Releases in this directory.
The install.lua.sfx is generated from the build.sh script in the repository. Each component of unicornpkg is a Git submodule located in src,1 and the relevant files are copied into a temporary directory in the correct layout. CraftOS-PC is launched and executes src/sfx.lua, which packs everything into install.lua.sfx. This file is copied into the repository's working directory by build.sh.
The entire release process is executed through GitHub Actions on every push.
If necessary for an unforseen problem, the ./publish.sh script allows developers to publish the self-extracting archive manually, assuming that the GitHub CLI is available. publish.sh also tests that the installer works using CraftOS-PC.
