Ubuntu Desktop Installer

This project is a modern implementation of the Ubuntu Desktop installer, using subiquity as a backend and Flutter for the UI.

Availability and release

Ubuntu Desktop Installer replaced Ubiquity as the default installer starting from Ubuntu Desktop 23.04 (Lunar Lobster).

Test a live image

If you want to test new installer in a live session, you can download the latest daily-live image and try it in a virtual machine.

Build and dry-run the installer

If you want to build and dry-run the installer in a local Ubuntu installation for development or testing purposes without performing an actual installation, follow these steps:

• Install Flutter
• Fetch the source code

  git clone https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-installer.git
  cd ubuntu-desktop-installer
  git submodule update --init --recursive
• Install dependencies:

  make install_deps
• Dry-run the installer either from within your IDE or by executing:

  cd packages/ubuntu_desktop_installer
  flutter run
