Bulge Install on Non-YiffOS Systems

So you want to use bulge on your own system? Don't. It will probably break and is missing lots of packages (please accept my merge requests, Evie!).

Although it is discouraged, you can use bulge as a daily package manager, but most likely you would only follow this guide if you're making your own ISO for YiffOS.


Step One

The first thing you're going to need is obviously the Bulge package.

Get it here

Next, extract it with tar -xf bulge.tar.xz and then tar -xf data.tar.xz. Bulge will be found in the directories that were unarchived.


Step Two

Now, you need to get the config files or else bulge won't have any idea what to do.

Get those here

Once you have those, untar them with tar -xf bulge_config.tar.gz. It will create a directory called "bulge_for_movement". Go into it.


Step Three

In this directory, you will see all of bulge's config files. You need to move them into /etc/bulge. Run the following commands:

sudo mkdir /etc/bulge
sudo mv config.json /etc/bulge
sudo mv databases/ /etc/bulge
sudo mv mirrors /etc/bulge

Step Four

Now the only thing left to do is go into the folders that bulge created when it was unarchived and run it. Execute ./bulge i bulge. This will install it to /usr/bin/bulge, allowing it to be used throughout the system.
