Arch Linux Installation

Set up

Set the keyboard layout:

$ loadkeys es

Augment the size of the iso image:

$ mount -o remount,size=1G /run/archiso/cowspace

Download git:

$ pacman -Syy && pacman -S git

Configure git to store the credentials:

$ git config --global credential.helper store

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/albamr09/ArchInstaller.git

Now, you are good to go to start the installation process.

Install

Place yourself inside the root of the repository:

cd ArchInstaller

Check out the configuration file, in case some values do not make sense to you:

cat install_scripts/config.sh

If you are satisfied with the configuration, simply execute:

cd install_scripts && ./install.sh

This will cause the installation to begin. It is mostly automatic, but sometimes you will have to enter a password here and there. So do not just let it execute by itself, because there are timeouts that will cause the installation to hault with an error.

Once this finished, reboot your computer. When the computer is up and running again, you will be met with a very minimal login interface. Log in with you user, and execute the following:

cd /install_scripts && ./post_install

This script prompts you to connect to a wifi access point. It also sets up some needed services (like lightdm!) and removes all the installation files used from you system so it is nice an clean. Well, now your arch linux is ready to go!
