#+TITLE: Documentation

Below are sources of documentation regarding Carbs Linux and tools surrounding
it.

* User Manual

Carbs Linux User Manual aims to be a general-purpose explanation of the
distribution, from the installation steps to the style guide of the project. It
can be accessed or otherwise obtained with various methods:

** HTML

You can view the Manual from your browser. The Manual can be viewed as

- [[file:docs/carbslinux][One HTML page per node]]
- [[file:docs/carbslinux.html][Single HTML page]]

** Plain text

You can download [[file:docs/carbslinux.txt][carbslinux.txt]] in order to view the Manual from your preferred
pager.

#+begin_src sh
curl -LO https://carbslinux.org/docs/carbslinux.txt
less carbslinux.txt
#+end_src

** Info

You can install the =carbs-docs= package and either =texinfo= or =info= packages
to view the Manual offline.

#+begin_src sh
cpt bi info carbs-docs
info carbslinux
#+end_src

** Source

You can also acquire the source for generating the Manual, which requires
=emacs= for exporting the Org-mode documentation and =texinfo= for generating
html/info pages.

#+begin_src sh
git clone git://git.carbslinux.org/docs
#+end_src

* Installation Instructions

Installation Manual is part of the [[*User Manual][User Manual]], but it can also be obtained
separately:

* Carbs Packaging Tools

The user manual for CPT is not complete yet, but will be released with the 6.0.0
