Primal is a fast, efficient, and user-friendly Nostr client that leverages server-side caching to deliver a smooth and responsive user experience. Its clean interface and insightful features make it a valuable tool for any Nostr user. This repository creates the s9pk package that is installed to run Primal on StartOS.

Prior to building the primal package, it's essential to configure your build environment for StartOS services. You can find instructions on how to set up the appropriate build environment in the Developer Docs.

• docker
• docker-buildx
• deno
• make
• start-sdk
• yq

Clone the Primal package repository locally.

git clone https://github.com/k0gen/primal-startos.git
cd primal-startos

To build the Primal service as a universal package, run the following command:

make

Alternatively the package can be built for individual architectures by specifying the architecture as follows:

# for amd64
make x86

or

# for arm64
make arm

Before installation, define host: https://server-name.local in your ~/.embassy/config.yaml config file then run the following commands to determine successful install:

ℹ️ Change server-name.local to your Start9 server address

start-cli auth login
#Enter your StartOS password
make install

Tip: You can also install the primal.s9pk by sideloading it under the StartOS > System > Sideload a Service section.

Go to your StartOS Services page, select Primal and start the service.

Done!
