Welcome to ReplOS!

ReplOS is an Operating System written in Replit’s Bash shell.

In ReplOS, you can run a basic Linux OS on any computer (with a bit of lag)!

How to start ReplOS

To start ReplOS, go to the “Shell” tab (next to this “Markdown” tab).

Type in the name of the application you would like to start, starting with bash and ending with “.sh”.

• Don’t include the $, the shell pre-includes it in all commands.

  Example:

  $ bash chrome.sh
  

  To see a list of possible application commands, go to the “List of Commands” section.

  How to download files from ReplOS

  To download a file from ReplOS, simply download it to the external drive “ReplOS” when saving the file.

  It will show up in the files tab when you do this!

  You can download your file by clicking the 3 dots next to the file and pressing “Download”!

  If you want to upload a file to ReplOS, simply click the 3 dots to the far right of “Files”.

  Click Upload File.

  Upload the file you want uploaded!

  If you want a folder uploaded, same policy applies, except click the “Upload Folder” button instead of the “Upload File” button!

  ! IMPORTANT !

  Zip files don’t work the same as regular files. When uploaded normally, it will read as gibberish. If you want to upload a zip archive, use the “Upload Folder” button. It will turn the .zip into a folder.

  Ignore the following:

• main.sh

• .replit

• chrome.sh

• firefox.sh

• readme.md

  These files are needed for startup. You won’t have downloaded any of these, and they don’t have anything you need downloaded.

  Audio

  To turn on audio, click the box next to the headphones in the corner.
