The recommended path is a single bootstrap command that adds the signed repository, installs the metapackage, enables the service, and runs the post-install setup:
curl -fsSL https://repo.eldric.ai/install-eldric.sh | sudo bash
That bootstrap chains four steps: add the dnf repository, dnf install eldric-aios, systemctl enable --now eldric-aios, and a hand-off to eldric setup which waits for the daemon's health probe to come green. Within thirty seconds the controller, edge, router, worker and data daemons are all up. Open http://<your-host>:8880/chat in a browser — single-node listens on port 8880 by default. The very first signup becomes the system administrator. There is no default password. (When you put a dedicated edge gateway in front, the URL drops the port and becomes https://<your-host>/chat.)
Pass a license file and an admin email through the bootstrap by separating script arguments with -s --:
curl -fsSL https://repo.eldric.ai/install-eldric.sh | \
sudo bash -s -- --license-file /tmp/license.json --admin-email me@example.com
Prefer the steps separately — for example, to inspect the repo before installing, or to pin a specific version with dnf?
curl -fsSL https://repo.eldric.ai/install.sh | sudo bash
sudo dnf install eldric-aios
sudo systemctl enable --now eldric-aios
sudo eldric setup
The first script only adds the signed dnf repository (its GPG signing key is pinned by fingerprint, so an intermediary serving a swapped key fails closed). eldric setup is the post-install bootstrap — it waits up to sixty seconds for the local daemon's /health probe, activates a license file if one was passed, checks whether an admin account already exists, and prints a one-screen install summary. It is idempotent; re-run it any time. Flags:
--license-file PATH — activate the signed license at PATH before printing the summary.--admin-email EMAIL — pre-fill the admin email in the summary.--dry-run — report what would happen without making changes.--quiet — suppress progress output; non-zero exit if anything failed.--json — emit the install summary as machine-readable JSON.
The full install log is written to /var/log/eldric-install.log.
