Install Recar

Recar can be installed via several methods depending on your Linux distribution and preference.

Prepackaged Binaries

Debian, Ubuntu and their derivatives (eg; Linux Mint)

Debian based distribution can install Recar from the provided .deb file.

TODO, ADD RPM TARBALL AND STUFF TOO LAZY RN, OH AND ALSO LINKS TO THE DOWNLOADS RIGHT

Using Nix

Nix

If you’re using the Nix package manager (not NixOS):

Install to your profile
Run without installing

bash nix profile install github:hamhimdev/recar/main

bash nix run github:hamhimdev/recar/main

NixOS

A flake is provided that you can use to install the program on NixOS systems. Optionally, you can also add the system package directly in your configuration.nix. To do so you will need to define the Recar input in the file parameters.

With flake.nix
With configuration.nix

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    recar.url = "github:hamhimdev/recar/main";
    # If you prefer, you can replace this with Codeberg by using git+https://codeberg.org/hamhim/recar/main, however if you don't have proper ipv6 you might have trouble using this.
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, recar }: {
    nixosConfigurations.yourhostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      modules = [
        ./configuration.nix
        {
          environment.systemPackages = [
            recar.packages.x86_64-linux.default
          ];
        }
      ];
    };
  };
}

On the top:

{
  config,
  pkgs,
  recar,
  ...
}:

And then recar to your packages:

{
  environment.systemPackages = [
    recar.packages.\${pkgs.system}.default
    # ...
  ];
}

Then expose the recar flake to your configuration.nix:

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    pixelfix.url = "github:hamhimdev/pixelfix-rs/main";
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, pixelfix }: {
    nixosConfigurations.yourhostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      specialArgs = { inherit pixelfix; }; # !!!
      modules = [ ./configuration.nix ];
    };
  };
}

Building from Source

To build Recar from source, you’ll need nodejs, pnpm, and git.

Clone the repository:

The --recursive flag is very important as roverpp (Recar Overlay), Equicord and Vencord are included as Git submodules.
Terminal window
```
git clone --recursive https://codeberg.org/hamhim/recar.git
cd recar
```
Install dependencies:
Terminal window
```
pnpm install
```
Build client mods:
Terminal window
```
pnpm build:mods
```
Launch Recar:
Terminal window
```
pnpm start
```
