TUI Guide

ELMOS features an interactive Terminal User Interface (TUI) for streamlined workflows.

Launching TUI

./build/elmos tui

Interface

The TUI provides menus for:

• Kernel: Clone, config, build
• Toolchains: Install, build, manage
• QEMU: Run, debug
• Modules/Apps: Create, build
• Doctor: Environment checks
• Status: Workspace overview

Navigate with arrow keys, Enter to select, Esc to back.

Real-time Output

Commands run with live output in the TUI. Errors highlighted.

Shortcuts

• Ctrl+C: Cancel current command
• q: Quit

Benefits

• No memorizing commands
• Visual progress for long builds
• Integrated help

Fallback

If TUI fails, use CLI commands directly.
