This guide shows how to install eweOS using Jade only.
No manual partitioning required. Works on both UEFI and BIOS systems.
NOTE: eweOS' port of Jade isn't maintained for now, this way of installation is considered deprecated. As an alternative, please see eweOS Installation Guide (Manual).
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 --kernel default
For UEFI:
jade bootloader limine-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.
