https://github.com/Alter-Net-codes/SkyOS/blob/main/docs/readme.md#install
IF YOU ARE DOWNLOADING THE DOCS INCLUDED VERSION, THEN UNZIP THE SkyOS-Docs-Included.zip FOLDER, THEN UNZIP THE SkyOS.zip FOLDER THAT SHOWS UP AFTER YOU UNZIP THE FIRST FOLDER, MAKE SURE TO BRING IT OUTSIDE THE SkyOS-Docs-Included FOLDER BEFORE EXTRACTING IT.

CHANGELOG

• Flexible Installation: You can now install SkyOS anywhere on your system. No more hardcoded paths!
• Proper Session Management: Session status now tracked using signed_in.txt — makes login flow more reliable.
• Fully Hashed Passwords: Passwords are now stored securely using SHA-256 hashing via Python’s hashlib.
• Refined Boot Sequence: Flashy new SkyOS boot screen with a seasonal welcome system.
• Modular App Support: All apps (like the Text Editor and Virtual Pet) now gracefully return to the kernel using sys.exit() or subprocess calls.
• Improved Error Handling: System crash (panic()) messages now show helpful error codes.

BUGS FIXED

• Kernel misidentifying its path in certain directory structures.
• sys.exit() not quitting the app properly when called from within subprocesses.
• setup.py not properly resetting credentials during a reinstall.
