Install Installation Image

First, determine the installation image you would like to install. You may browse and search all images available at the https://images.apexpl.io/ site.

Once determined, install Apex with the selected installation image with the commands:

composer create-project apex/apex
cd apex
./apex --image <AUTHOR>/<USERNAME>

Change the value of the --image flag from <AUTHOR>/<ALIAS> to the name of the installation image. This will install the base Apex system as ormal, then afterwards automatically download the installation image from the repository, install all necessary packages, and follow all other instructions.

Installing Private Images

TO install an image marked as private, simply add the --import flat when initially running the apex CLI command, for example:

composer create-project apex/apex
cd apex
./apex --image <AUTHOR>/<PACKAGE> --import

This will act same as explained above, except just after completing the base install, it will prompt you to import your Apex account by asking for your username and password, followed by your SSH key.
