## Install to hard drive
```plaintext
# login as root
setup-alpine
```
See [the alpinelinux wiki](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Install_to_disk)

## Without installing
If you just want to run from RAM without installing, 
```
# As root
echo myhostname > /etc/hostname
hostname -F /etc/hostname
apk add dhcpcd
dhcpcd
```
edit /etc/apk/repositories
```plaintext
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.17/main
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.17/community
```
then I install
```plaintext
apk add vim
apk add tmux
apk add curl
```
After this, only 48MB is used.
Though note that aplinelinux runs out of a `tmpfs` so these are lost when rebooting.
