Installing HeartSuite Core Secure – Part 1

Overview: Run the installer bundle and reboot to load the HeartSuite Core Secure kernel. This is the first step of Phase 1 (System Verification) on the Local Path.

Extract the Distribution

Untar the distribution tar file:

tar xvf 6.18-HeartSuite-1.6.4.tar -m

Run the Installer

Run the installer from the extracted directory (as root):

sudo bash heartsuite-install-bundle.sh

The installer sets up the HeartSuite Core Secure kernel, tools, and management UI. When it finishes, it displays === Bundle Installation Complete ===.

Reboot into the HeartSuite Core Secure Kernel

Reboot the system:

reboot

When the GRUB menu appears, select the HeartSuite Core Secure kernel:

1. Select Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux
2. Select Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 5.19.6-HeartSuite-1.0

After boot, the HeartSuite Core Secure management UI appears on the console. The Setup Wizard starts automatically — proceed to Installation Part 2.

If the Reboot Fails

If the system does not reboot or hangs, try these steps:

1. Verify the installer completed without errors before rebooting.
2. Check GRUB configuration for VMs (uncomment GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID if needed and run update-grub).
3. Boot into recovery mode and run fsck to check file systems.
4. After a successful boot, the Dashboard confirms the HeartSuite Core Secure kernel is loaded. The Safety Banner shows the current mode and the System Info Strip shows “Kernel: HS”.
