Installing October Linux requires downloading the ISO. Once booted up, you will be able to use the october-installer command to start the installation.

If using Wi-Fi, you will need to connect using iwctl first.

For example: october-installer -json config.json

The easiest way to import your JSON configuration into the live ISO is to host it in a GitHub repository and curl it.
