πŸ’– setup(1) πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the graphical setup program for the ESP Package Manager, and it's honestly giving main character energy. no cap. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

setup β€” the graphical setup program for the esp package manager πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

setup [ directory ]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, setup(1) gives you a graphical installation interface for EPM-generated portable installation packages. it's the whole glow-up: instead of you squinting at a terminal, it walks you through a step-by-step dialog that collects the list of packages you wanna install and makes you accept any license agreements for those packages. you know, the legal stuff. gotta say yes. πŸ’…

and the way it finds stuff? setup goes hunting for products in the current directory, or in the directory you specified on the command-line. that's it. that's the vibe check. πŸ”₯


πŸ‘‘ INSTALLATION TYPES πŸ‘‘

the default type of installation is "custom" β€” meaning the user gets to pick and choose from the list of products and install whatever they want. choose-your-own-adventure but for software. icon.

also, setup supports other types of installations too. if the setup.types file is present, it defines those other installation types. no file, no extra types. simple as. 🌈
