aurora installs Euri Linux: Horizon onto a disk. It is the successor to the void-mklive lineage, rewritten in Rust on ratatui.

What it does

• picks the target disk, writes a GPT partition table (native, no parted/sfdisk)
• formats an ESP (vfat) and a root partition (ext4 or btrfs)
• copies the live rootfs and deploys Limine (UEFI only)
• ratatui TUI with mouse support, keyboard fallback for TTY (no mouse, no blue)

Build

cargo build --release

Run

aurora            # ratatui TUI
aurora --tty      # keyboard-only TTY fallback

Theme

The palette is a dawn gradient: pre-dawn navy up through violet, pink, coral, amber, and gold. The title samples the gradient over time.
