Notes

• The TUI itself uses Bash only.
• Some actions rely on system tools already expected on the target OS, such as systemctl, apt-get, nmtui, pipx, curl or wget, gpg, and sudo.
• Network Quick Start runs nmtui and returns directly to the menu when finished.
• Contact in the main menu runs the contact command directly.
• Mesh Apps Manager reads mesh-apps.conf.
• App manager types supported in mesh-apps.conf are apt, pipx, and pipx-global.
• Meshtastic Related Services reads mesh-services.conf.
• Board configs are copied from /etc/meshtasticd/available.d/ into /etc/meshtasticd/config.d/.
