Fear not! Installing Droidian on your device is easy! Just download the Droidian Installer package for your operating system and sit back and relax while your computer does all the rest. Installing third-party operating systems has never been so easy!
By default, the Installer will always use the latest version of the installation configuration files available. Should you want to specify a custom config file, you can do that by starting the Installer with the -f ./path/to/config.yml argument. This can be used to test changes to the configuration or even to add new devices to the installer. The structure of the config files is specified here.
If the installer runs into an error, it will usually present you with the option to create a bug report. It is always a good idea to make use of that feature, because that way the developers will almost always have all the information they need to help you. If you still have to look at the log file for some reason, you can find it in ~/.cache/droidian/droidian-installer.log on linux (or ~/snap/droidian-installer/current/.cache/droidian/droidian-installer.log if you're using the snap package). On Windows, it will be located at %APPDATA%\droidian\droidian-installer.log and on macOS you can find it under $HOME/Library/Caches/droidian/droidian-installer.log.
Ensure you have properly installed nodejs and npm.
