Installation

Verify the complete bundle, then choose the source launcher or Debian package.

The v1.0.18-9 bundle supports a direct folder launch and a system-wide Debian package installation. Neither method begins conversion without explicit user confirmation.

1. Verify bundle

Confirm the exact public download.

sha256sum -c Sentinel_Linux_Converter_v1_0_18_9.zip.sha256
unzip -t Sentinel_Linux_Converter_v1_0_18_9.zip
2. Extract and verify internals

Check the complete release manifest.

unzip Sentinel_Linux_Converter_v1_0_18_9.zip
cd Sentinel_Linux_Converter_v1_0_18_9
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
3A. Direct folder method

Run the final Sentinel Linux release evidence.

chmod +x sentinel-convert.sh sentinelos-public-convert phases/*.sh tools/*.sh tests/*.sh
./sentinel-convert.sh --check
./sentinel-convert.sh
3B. Debian package method

Install the converter system-wide through APT.

sha256sum packages/sentinelos-converter_1.0.18-9_all.deb
sudo apt install ./packages/sentinelos-converter_1.0.18-9_all.deb
sentinel-convert.sh --check

Menu launch

Open the applications menu and choose Convert to Sentinel Linux .

Terminal launch

Run sentinel-convert.sh or its alias sentinel-convert .

Normal policy

The standard launcher detects the desktop user and performs or resumes the complete public non-AEGIS conversion after confirmation.

Important: package installation only installs the converter. It does not automatically convert the machine.
Documentation note: use packages/sentinelos-converter_1.0.18-9_all.deb . One line in START_HERE.txt still refers to the superseded 1.0.18-1 filename.
