Installation

Arch

using AUR:

yay -S cardwire

then enable the service and reboot

sudo systemctl enable cardwired.service
reboot

Note

cardwire-git is also available, this one is built from the dev branch, rather than a fixed release tag

Important

i’m also looking for an official maintainer for both AUR, since i do not use Arch.

Nix

Using the repo’s flake:

flake.nix:

cardwire = {
    url = "github:opengamingcollective/cardwire";
    inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

configuration.nix:

imports = [ inputs.cardwire.nixosModules.default ];

services.cardwire.enable = true;

Fedora

Using the offical copr:

sudo dnf copr enable luytan/cardwire

sudo dnf install cardwire

Other distros

For now, other distros must clone the repo and use make to build and install Cardwire.

Build dependencies:

• cargo
• clang
• libbpf

git clone https://github.com/OpenGamingCollective/cardwire.git

make build
sudo make install

Caution

Makefile wasn’t tested, use with caution.

Important

For mainstream distros, i will be making an official install methods, like a copr for Fedora and a .deb for Debian based.

Non-systemd distros

Warning

Cardwire only supports systemd-based distros. If you want to use it on a non-systemd distro, either open a PR with patches for non-systemd or get it working on your setup.
