Clone Calamares from GitHub and cd into the calamares directory, then:
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DWITH_PARTITIONMANAGER=1 ..
$ make
Calamares is currently split as follows:
- libcalamares - The back-end library.
- Only depends on QtCore, yaml-cpp, Python and Boost.Python.
- Provides a job queue and generic jobs.
- Comes with 3 job interfaces: C++, Python and process (the latter is very limited).
- libcalamaresui - The front-end library.
- Same dependencies as libcalamares, plus QtWidgets and other Qt modules.
- Comes with a module loading system, for different kinds of plugins.
- Supports branding components.
- Presents a bunch of pages in a scripted order, enqueues jobs in the back-end library.
- calamares - The main executable.
- A thin wrapper around libcalamaresui; starts up and plugs together all the parts.
