# Welcome

Omaterm is a headless Arch setup for quickly getting servers, agent environments, and dev boxes setup with all the basic developing tooling you'd want along with services like GitHub, Tailscale, and SSH. 

It's done in the same omakase style as [Omarchy](https://omarchy.org), and is designed to be as familiar as possible for someone already running Omarchy.

## Installation

1. Download [Arch ISO](https://archlinux.org/download/)
2. Boot from ISO and run `archinstall`.
3. Reboot then run: `curl -fsSL https://omaterm.org/install | bash`

Now you'll have a box ready for work!

## Services

During the setup, you'll be asked whether you'd like to authenticate with GitHub and Tailscale. Doing so means the box will actually be useful for working on code, pushing it to production, and accessing the machine from anywhere in the world on your private network.

## AI Assistance

Much of that work may well be happening with AI assistance. By default, Omaterm installs `opencode` and `claude`. They're accessible on `c` and `cx` respectively.
