The script uses an official Mageia docker image to retrieve a recursive list of dependencies that are downloaded and packaged in the installation ISO. ALCASAR dependencies list, as well as its kernel version, are retrieved from the ALCASAR tarball archive.

Once the ISO is done, write it on a bootable device (CDROM, DVDROM, USB Key). Boot on it and install the OS normally. The dependencies are installed along the base system packages, which means that the ALCASAR installer will only download updates.
