# ZealOS
The Zeal Operating System is a modernized, professional fork of the 64-bit Temple Operating System. Guiding principles of development include transparency, full user control, and adherence to public-domain/open-source implementations.

- For running in a VM: Intel VT-x/AMD-V acceleration enabled in your BIOS settings. (Required to virtualize any 64-bit operating system properly.)
- Working knowledge of the C programming language.
Every commit contains a "ZealOS-YYYY-MM-DD-HH_MM_SS.iso" in the root of master, which is a timestamped ISO build of that commit.
Every commit contains a "ZealOS-YYYY-MM-DD-HH_MM_SS.iso" in the root of master, which is a timestamped ISO build of that commit. Use this ISO for installation: see the Wiki for guides on installing in [VirtualBox](https://github.com/Zeal-Operating-System/ZealOS/wiki/Installing-(Virtualbox)), [VMWare](https://github.com/Zeal-Operating-System/ZealOS/wiki/Installing-(VMWare)), and [bare-metal](https://github.com/Zeal-Operating-System/ZealOS/wiki/Installing-(Bare%E2%80%90metal)).
This is basically a read-only repository. Everything happens inside the OS, as intended by Terry. After you've installed the latest release in a VM, you can make changes to the source. Once you've made your changes, you can make copies of the relevant files and put them into a folder, along with some kind of notes as to what you've done either as a DolDoc document or in the pull request later. You can then make a RedSea ISO file out of that folder by running `RedSeaISO("MyChanges.ISO", "/Home/Folder");`. Export the contents of the VM hard drive in whatever OS-specific way you have to (there are scripts in the root of the repo), grab the ISO, and send it; a pull request attachment with the zipped ISO would work fine.
### Contributing
This is basically a read-only repository. Everything happens inside the OS, as intended by Terry. After you've installed the latest release in a VM and made your changes, you can run the `K.CC` file in the Home/ directory to build a Distro ISO. Then, use either the `mnt.sh` or `export.ps1` script to merge your changes & Distro ISO to the repo.
Alternatively, you can put individual files into a folder, and run `RedSeaISO("MyChanges.ISO", "/Home/Folder");` to package them into an ISO, then use the mount scripts to export the ISO.
Afterwards, you can make a pull request on the `master` branch. (Make sure to include either the new Distro ISO or package ISO in the pull request, since all other files on the repo are read-only and overwritten each commit: all merges are done manually.)
## Background
In around November of 2019, [Z3N1THM4N](https://github.com/Z3N1THM4N) decided to create [ZenithOS](https://github.com/ZenithOS/ZenithOS) to continue Terry's work in a direction that would make it a viable operating system while still keeping the innovative and divine-intellect ideas and design strategies intact.
At first, development occurred exclusively inside a VM and ISOs were occasionally generated as official releases. It was scrapped and restarted from scratch.\
Releases of the "old" ZenithOS are currently archived on the `mega.nz` website:
- [Previous Releases](https://mega.nz/#F!ZIEGmSRQ!qvL6Wk6THzE-dazkfT6N3Q)
The repository was removed in August of 2020, and reuploaded to [ZenithOS](https://github.com/ZenithOS/ZenithOS).
