What is Agama?

Agama is a new Linux installer born in the core of the YaST team. It is designed to offer re-usability, integration with third party tools and the possibility to build advanced user interfaces over it.

It offers an HTTP API to control and monitor the whole installation process and comes with two user interfaces: a modern web front-end and a powerful command-line tool.

Agama can perform interactive and unattended installations, making it possible even to mix both approaches with any combination of manual work and automation.

Agama reuses many of the principles and internal components of (Auto)YaST, ensuring it can handle a similar number of architectures and technologies. It also offers a high level of backwards compatibility with AutoYaST for unattended installations, being often able to act as a drop-in replacement.
