This guide shows how to install eweOS using Jade only.
No manual partitioning required. Works on both UEFI and BIOS systems.
NOTE: This is not (yet) functioning and is WIP!
For more details see the Jade documentation.
List all drives:
lsblk
Example:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda 8:0 0 120G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part
└─sda2 8:2 0 119.5G 0 part
sdb 8:16 1 16G 0 disk /run/media/liveusb
👉 In this example, /dev/sda is the main hard drive.
⚠️ Do not use your USB stick (e.g. /dev/sdb).
For UEFI systems (modern PCs):
jade partition auto /dev/sda --efi
For BIOS/Legacy systems:
jade partition auto /dev/sda
(Replace /dev/sda with your actual disk.)
This will erase the disk and create partitions automatically.
jade install-base
For UEFI:
jade bootloader limine-efi /boot/efi
For BIOS/Legacy:
jade bootloader limine-legacy /dev/sda
jade genfstab
Example: English (US), Europe/Berlin timezone:
jade locale us Europe/Berlin en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
Set your hostname (example: my-pc):
jade networking my-pc
Example user alice with root access:
jade users new-user alice mypassword bash --hasroot
jade users root-password rootpass
Example: Hyprland:
jade desktops hyprland
When finished:
reboot
You should now boot into eweOS!
lsblk first to confirm the correct disk.jade partition auto will wipe the disk completely.
