# Install CraftOS-PC
CraftOS-PC is the local harness used to run this repo's Lua outside of Minecraft. See [ADR-0005](adrs/adr-0005-craftos-pc-harness-and-probes.md) for why.
CraftOS-PC is the emulator; `craftos` is the command-line executable it installs. For the broader upstream documentation index, see [`craftos_pc_glossary.md`](craftos_pc_glossary.md).
Minimum version: **v2.8.3**. `just install` runs `craftos --version` to verify it is on `$PATH` and recent enough; it also checks that `jq`, `luacheck`, and `openssl` are installed.
The upstream installation page is <https://www.craftos-pc.cc/docs/installation>. The notes below pin the version we test against and add a SHA-256 verification step.
## macOS
There is no Homebrew cask, so the install is a manual drag-to-Applications from the official GitHub release.
```sh
# 1. Download the dmg and the published hashes.
curl -L -o ~/Downloads/CraftOS-PC.dmg \
https://github.com/MCJack123/craftos2/releases/download/v2.8.3/CraftOS-PC.dmg
# 2. Verify the SHA-256.
curl -sL https://github.com/MCJack123/craftos2/releases/download/v2.8.3/sha256-hashes.txt \
| grep CraftOS-PC.dmg
shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/CraftOS-PC.dmg
# The two hashes must match.
# 3. Mount, install, unmount.
hdiutil attach ~/Downloads/CraftOS-PC.dmg -nobrowse
rm -rf /Applications/CraftOS-PC.app
cp -R "/Volumes/CraftOS-PC/CraftOS-PC.app" /Applications/
hdiutil detach "/Volumes/CraftOS-PC"
# 4. Clear Gatekeeper quarantine so the first launch is not blocked.
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/CraftOS-PC.app
```
The binary is not on `$PATH` by default. Add a symlink so `just check-craftos` can find it:
```sh
ln -sf /Applications/CraftOS-PC.app/Contents/MacOS/craftos /usr/local/bin/craftos
```
User data (computer state, settings) lives in `~/Library/Application Support/CraftOS-PC` and survives a reinstall. The steps above only touch the `.app` bundle.
When running headless tests on macOS, prefer passing the app bundle's resource directory explicitly if `craftos` is reached through the `/usr/local/bin/craftos` symlink:
```sh
craftos --headless --rom /Applications/CraftOS-PC.app/Contents/Resources --exec 'print("__TRAPOS_TEST_OK__"); os.shutdown()'
```
## Windows
Download `CraftOS-PC-Setup.exe` from the [latest release](https://github.com/MCJack123/craftos2/releases/latest) and run it. The installer puts `craftos.exe` on `%PATH%`.
User data: `%appdata%\CraftOS-PC`.
## Linux
Download `CraftOS-PC.x86_64.AppImage` from the [latest release](https://github.com/MCJack123/craftos2/releases/latest), make it executable, and symlink it into `$PATH`:
```sh
chmod +x ~/Downloads/CraftOS-PC.x86_64.AppImage
sudo ln -sf "$HOME/Downloads/CraftOS-PC.x86_64.AppImage" /usr/local/bin/craftos
```
User data: `~/.local/share/craftos-pc`.
## Verify
```sh
craftos --version
```
Must report `CraftOS-PC v2.8.3` or newer. Once this works, `just install` will succeed.
To verify that CraftOS-PC can boot a computer, not only print its executable version, run:
```sh
craftos --headless --exec 'print("__TRAPOS_TEST_OK__"); os.shutdown()'
```
On macOS, use the `--rom` form shown above if the command fails with `Could not mount ROM`.
## Running tests
`just test` runs `/programs/runtest.lua` headlessly through CraftOS-PC. The runner discovers tests under `/tests`, while the `Justfile` only owns host launch flags, timeout, and success-marker checks. On macOS the recipe passes `--rom /Applications/CraftOS-PC.app/Contents/Resources` because the `/usr/local/bin/craftos` symlink loses ROM auto-discovery; on Linux and Windows no flag is needed. `just ci` runs the same tests after `luacheck`.
## Repository-local launches
`just trapos` launches CraftOS-PC with the TrapOS dev environment: persistent save data rooted at `.craftos` instead of the platform default user-data directory, and read-only mounts of the repository at `/trapos` plus each shipped top-level directory at its ComputerCraft root path (such as `/apis`, `/programs`, `/servers`, `/startup`, and `/tests`). Generated files live under `.craftos/config/` and `.craftos/computer/`, while the root `.gitignore` keeps that state untracked.
`just craftos` launches a vanilla CraftOS-PC with no mounts, persistent under `.craftos-vanilla/` (also gitignored). Use it when a probe should not see TrapOS files — for example, to confirm a behavior is upstream rather than TrapOS-specific.
`just trapos-install` exercises the real ccpm bootstrap (`install-ccpm.lua` → `ccpm update``ccpm install trapos`) end-to-end on a fresh, ephemeral CraftOS-PC state. Network-dependent and slower than `just test`, so not part of `just ci`. Override the watchdog with `TRAP_CCLIBS_INSTALL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` (default `60`).
For automated probes, use the safe wrappers. They mount the right environment,
shut down the machine after completion or Lua errors, and kill the host process
if the snippet blocks before shutdown:
```sh
just trapos-exec 'print("__TRAPOS_TEST_OK__")'
just craftos-exec 'print(_HOST)'
```
Override the watchdog with `TRAP_CCLIBS_HEADLESS_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` (default `10`).
Pass CraftOS-PC flags directly after `just trapos` or `just craftos` only for
manual launches where you want raw emulator control.
See [ADR-0005](adrs/adr-0005-craftos-pc-harness-and-probes.md) for the canonical headless probe pattern used to verify hypotheses about CC:Tweaked behavior.
`just repl` delegates to `just trapos --cli` for human interactive use only. LLM agents must not run `just repl`.
See [Command-Line Flags](https://www.craftos-pc.cc/docs/cli) for `--headless`, `--exec`, `--script`, `--rom`, and `--mount-*`. See [Error Messages](https://www.craftos-pc.cc/docs/error-messages) for `Could not mount ROM` and other boot-time failures.
## Updating
Repeat the steps above against the newer release. The bundle replacement is in-place; the user data directory is preserved.
