How does it work

This repo contains an overlay directory with bash scripts to be used within the Armbian build system or on an already installed image.
The scripts will copy the reticulum stack and its dependencies to /opt/reticulum_env/ and modifies /etc/skel/.profile, so that every user that gets created will have those copied to his home directory upon first login.

How can I use it

You can run the scripts either by themself in an installed system to install the latest version of reticulum or add the scripts to the Armbian build system in order to create images with reticulum installed.
