Calamares has some generic user documentation for end-users, but most of what we have is for distro developers.
Clone Calamares from GitHub. The default branch is called calamares.
git clone https://github.com/calamares/calamares.git
Calamares is a KDE-Frameworks and Qt-based, C++17, CMake-built application. The dependencies are explained in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Calamares welcomes PRs. New issues are welcome, too. There are both the Calamares core repository (this one), and an extensions repository (Calamares extensions).
Contributions to code, modules, documentation, the wiki and the website are all welcome. There is more information in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.
GitHub Issues are one place for discussing Calamares if there are concrete problems or a new feature to discuss.
Regular Calamares development chit-chat happens in a Matrix
room, #calamares:kde.org. The conversation is bridged with IRC
on Libera.Chat.
Responsiveness is best during the day
in Europe, but feel free to idle. If you use IRC, DO NOT ask-and-leave. Keep
that chat window open because it can easily take a few hours for
someone to notice a message.
Matrix is persistent, and we'll see your message eventually.
