Installer scripts for Bastion

They install Node.js and the packages Bastion needs, then set Bastion up in your home directory.

Install

Script	Operating system	Package manager
linux/apt.sh	Debian, Ubuntu	apt
linux/dnf.sh	Fedora, RHEL 8+	dnf
linux/yum.sh	RHEL 7, CentOS 7	yum
linux/pacman.sh	Arch	pacman
darwin/brew.sh	macOS	Homebrew
windows/chocolatey.ps1	Windows	Chocolatey

The examples use linux/apt.sh. Swap in the script for your system.

Linux & macOS

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheBastionBot/BastionScripts/main/linux/apt.sh | bash

Or download it and run it yourself:

curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheBastionBot/BastionScripts/main/linux/apt.sh
chmod +x apt.sh
./apt.sh

You'll be asked for your password. sudo is used to install system packages, never for anything inside your home directory. pacman doesn't support partial upgrades, so pacman.sh upgrades the whole system first.

Node.js is installed with fnm, which hooks into your shell profile. Source your shell profile or open a new terminal before you run node or npm.

Windows

Run PowerShell as administrator. The installer exits if it isn't elevated.

After installing

Bastion won't start until it's configured. Add your bot's token, ID, owners and MongoDB URI to settings.yaml in the installation directory.

An existing installation is moved to $HOME/Bastion-Old before the new one is set up, so you can go back to it.
