Welcome to the sanCore wiki!
This is your go-to guide for everything related to sanCore OS, from installing the COSMOS system to running sanCore on real hardware devices.
sanCore is a custom-built operating system developed using the COSMOS framework in C#. It is lightweight, educational, and modular — designed to help developers understand low-level OS concepts while experimenting with high-level C# code.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:
- Visual Studio 2022 or later
- .NET SDK (preferably .NET 6)
- COSMOS extension (via Visual Studio Marketplace or COSMOS GitHub)
-
Open Visual Studio.
-
Go to Extensions > Manage Extensions.
-
Search for Cosmos and install the COSMOS User Kit.
-
Restart Visual Studio.
-
Build your COSMOS project to generate an .iso file.
-
Use Ventoy to burn the ISO to a USB stick without formatting your USB all the time.
-
Plug the USB into your target device.
-
Boot and select the USB drive from your BIOS boot menu.
