Get started
Install Lattice, then build your world as a grid.
This page is the “what to do first” guide. It assumes you already have ComputerCraft: Tweaked available (e.g. via AllTheMods 10).
1) Start with an Advanced Computer
Lattice targets ComputerCraft: Tweaked. You’ll get the best experience on an Advanced Computer (better display + color).
2) Run the installer
The installer bootstraps the system and pulls packages using the repo manifest. Keep the endpoint stable for copy/paste.
3) Expect structure
Lattice favors explicit layout, predictable paths, and composable parts. If you’re used to “one big script,” this will feel different — on purpose.
4) Add capabilities as packages
Install only what you need. Think drivers, services, utilities, and shared libraries — designed to compose cleanly.
What you’re installing
Lattice is intentionally not one giant program. It’s a foundation of smaller pieces that can be composed:
- A minimal bootstrap flow
- A shared library grid (reused across nodes)
- A manifest-driven package repository
- A base for automation, monitoring, and orchestration
If you want to explore what’s available, open the package browser.
Install command
Run on an Advanced Computer.
wget run https://lattice-os.cc/installNotes
- The /install route serves the installer script directly (for ComputerCraft).
- If your world/network is flaky, retrying the installer is usually safe — it’s designed around a manifest-driven flow.
- If something fails, capture the on-screen error and the last action (package/file) for quick diagnosis.
What to expect
Lattice leans into a “systems” mindset. That means a bit more structure up front, and a lot less chaos later.
Explicit over implicit
Configuration and behavior should be discoverable by reading files, not guessing hidden defaults.
Structure over sprawl
A lattice grows without becoming a tangled heap. Packages should have clear boundaries and predictable installs.
Failure should be loud
When something goes wrong, it should be clear what failed and where. Debuggability is a feature.
Next
After installing, your next step is usually to identify the packages you want and build upward deliberately.
