Install without network connectivity #323

Open kg4zow opened 2 months ago

kg4zow commented 2 months ago

My home network is configured to block my tablets from accessing the internet.

Is there a way to install this without having to temporarily un-block the tablets? Maybe ... I dunno, git clone the repo on a computer, scp -r that directory into the tablet, and then ssh into the tablet and run the installer locally, without it having to access anything outside the local network?

I haven't started looking at what install.sh does yet, but if this turns out to be something that would work, then all I'm asking for is to update the repo's README.md file to explain how to do it.

Good idea. With your skills I think you should be able to adapt install.sh a little. From what I see scrolling through, basically it maps the rM's software version to the right patch file and wgets it from github (path in PATCH_URL). In addition the stylus patch option is downloaded from another, hardcoded url on github (and also updates wget itself). Is it possible to wget a file from a local, relative directory? Then it's maybe just changing the two URLs?
