Installing Omegga

Omegga runs on linux. Pick the one that matches where you are starting from:
Linuxa linux machine or VPS you already have a shell on
Windows (WSL)Windows, through the Windows Subsystem for Linux
Containersdocker or podman, with node and omegga already in the image

The container image is the only option that does not need node on the host. The other two are the same install once you have a shell, so the WSL page is just the extra steps to get one.

Do not install omegga or run brickadia/omegga as root/superuser:

  • running whoami should NOT print “root”
  • your terminal prompt should NOT end with #
  • you should NOT be typing sudo npm i -g omegga
  • running echo $EUID should NOT print “0”
  • if you type pwd it should NOT print “/root” (type cd to navigate to your user’s home dir)

If any of the above are true, create a new user and continue from there.

If you need to run omegga as root, make sure your branch is main-server or unstable-server, as main will not work as root.

Once it is installed, head to Running.
