Enit

The official init system for Tide Linux

Project Information

Enit is an init system developed for the Tide Linux project. It features easy-to-use commands for power and service management and yaml-based service configuration

Installation Guide

Using a package manager

  • Tide Linux: Enit is pre-installed as the default init system through the enit package

Building from source

  • Download go from your package manager or from the go website
  • Download make from your package manager
  • Run the following command to compile the project
make PREFIX=/usr SYSCONFDIR=/etc LOCALSTATEDIR=/var
  • Run the following command to install Enit into your system. You may also append a DESTDIR variable at the end of this line if you wish to install in a different root directory
make install PREFIX=/usr
make install-config PREFIX=/usr SYSCONFDIR=/etc

Post installation

  • Set the default init system in your bootloader/boot-manager by appending init=/usr/sbin/enit to your kernel command-line parameters. Alternatively symlink /usr/sbin/enit to /sbin/init
  • You may find additional service files in the Tide Linux repositories. Some service files will likely need to be modified to run in your distribution
