How to Use Linutil?

  1. Installation

    • You can install Linutil from a package manager or directly from GitHub.
    • If you’re using the CLI, you can run it directly from GitHub by choosing either the stable or dev branch.

  2. Running Linutil
    After installation, simply run the command linutil in your terminal to launch the TUI. You will be presented with different setup options for various packages. Instructions are provided within the interface to guide you through each option.

    Once the TUI is open, you can select different setups, and Linutil will handle the configuration automatically. It’s designed to make the process as simple as possible for users.

Can Using Linutil Break My System?
