feat: Add universal installer and TUI manager (#26)
* feat: Add universal installer and TUI manager
This vibe-coded project now includes a comprehensive installation system
that simplifies monocoque setup across all major Linux distributions.
Key Features:
- Universal installer (install.sh) with automatic distribution detection
- Installs binaries to ~/.local/share/monocoque (user-local, no root needed)
- Creates launcher scripts in ~/.local/bin (start-simd, start-monocoque, test-monocoque)
- Interactive TUI manager (monocoque-manager) for service management
- Complete uninstaller (tools/uninstall.sh) with selective removal
- Dynamic systemd service generation for auto-start capability
Installation Components:
- install.sh: One-command installation across Arch, Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE
- tools/monocoque-manager: Python TUI for real-time status monitoring
- tools/uninstall.sh: Clean removal with config/log preservation options
- Updated README.md with quick install instructions
Architecture:
- User-local installation (no system pollution)
- Binaries: ~/.local/share/monocoque/{monocoque,simapi,simshmbridge}/
- Configs: ~/.config/{monocoque,simd}/
- Launchers: ~/.local/bin/{start-*,test-*,monocoque-manager}
- Services: ~/.config/systemd/user/ (generated dynamically)
Distribution Support:
- AUR integration for Arch users (fastest installation path)
- Native package manager integration (pacman, apt, dnf, zypper)
- Comprehensive dependency handling and build automation
This reduces installation time from 30-60 minutes to 5-15 minutes while
providing better user experience and easier maintenance.
Tested on Garuda Linux (Arch-based) - successful installation, operation, and cleanup.
* refactor: address PR feedback and improve XDG compliance
- Consolidate installers: removed universal-install.sh in favor of install.sh
- Fix XDG compliance: updated install.sh, uninstall.sh, and monocoque-manager to respect XDG_DATA_HOME, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, and XDG_CACHE_HOME with proper fallbacks
- Remove --no-daemon flag from simd launcher and systemd service as requested
- Improve TUI compatibility: fixed popen execution for Kitty (confirmed working), xfce4-terminal, Alacritty, and xterm
- Add documentation: added references to spacefreak18.github.io/simapi/ in README and installer
