Lufus
Beta Release Disclaimer
Lufus is currently in Beta.
Lufus is a physical drive imaging and formatting utility written in Python, inspired by Rufus on Windows, with the goal of delivering a greater experience for Linux users.
While core functionality has been implemented, the project is still under active development. Users should expect bugs, incomplete features, and ongoing structural changes.
Aim
Lufus aims to:
- Simplify bootable media creation for Linux users (new and old alike)
- Provide a clean, minimal, and accessible interface for users
- Become an all in one hub for everything-flashing on Linux and provide features not offered yet by its counterparts
- Allow users freedom and control over their Windows installs (in works)
- and much more
Running Lufus
Currently, running the project can be done by installing briefcase in a venv with
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install briefcase
Clone the project, and run the following in the root directory of the project:
briefcase dev -r
Documentation
Lufus uses MkDocs for its documentation.
To build the docs locally, simply pip install mkdocs in the venv and run mkdocs build,
or mkdocs serve to run a dev server.
