There are two ways to install, with the install-mazon.sh (dep dialog) script or the manual form as follows:

Pre Requirements:

• Download MazonOS
• An existing Linux distribution or a Linux liveCD.
• Create root partition using cfdisk or gparted (ext4) and DOS table / - min 20GB - If install EFI create first partition type EFI.

Format partition:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdx(x)

If use EFI:
# mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sdx(x)

Mount partition in /mnt:
# mount /dev/sdx(x) /mnt

Unzip the mazonos file in /mnt:
# tar -xJpvf /xxx/xxx/mazonos.tar.xz -C /mnt

If use EFI:
# mount /dev/sdx(x) /mnt/boot/EFI

Go to /mnt directory:
# cd /mnt

Mount proc / dev / sys and chroot to /mnt:
# mount --type proc /proc proc/
# mount --rbind /dev dev/
# mount --rbind /sys sys/
# mount --rbind /run run/
# chroot /mnt

Once in chroot, let's change the fstab file in /etc/fstab, using vim or nano.

Add your root partition (replace (x)) and save the file. In case you don't remember which is the root partition, use fdisk -l to see it.
/dev/sdx(x) / ext4 defaults 1 1

( BOOT USING MAZONOS GRUB )

• Install grub to your disk:
  # grub-install /dev/sd(x)
• Install grub EFI mode:
  # grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=mazon --recheck
• Create grub.cfg:
  # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
• Exit chroot and unmount the partitions:
  # exit
# umount -Rl /mnt
• Reboot your system and enjoy MazonOS.

( DUAL BOOT USING EXISTING GRUB )

• If you want to do a dual boot with your existing system with a working grub, exit the chroot with exit command and unmount the partitions with:
  # exit
# umount -Rl /mnt
# update-grub
• Reboot your system and enjoy MazonOS.

After installing and logging in a login system: root password: root, add a user with:
# useradd -m -G audio,video,netdev username

Add a password with:
# passwd username
# exit

Log in to the system with your new user and password, startx to start.
