How To Install Arch Linux?

Installing Arch Linux can be challenging for beginners, but the process can be broken down into a few basic steps. Here is a general guide to help you get started:


  • Download the Arch Linux ISO image from the Arch Linux website.

  • Create a CD/DVD or bootable USB drive using the ISO image. You can use tools like Rufus, UNetbootin, or Etcher to create the bootable media.

  • Boot your computer from the bootable media.

  • Once the system has booted, you will be greeted with a command-line interface—type "lsblk" to list the available disks and partitions. Identify the disk you want to install Arch Linux on.

  • Partition the disk using fdisk or cfdisk. You must create at least two partitions: one for the root file system ("/") and one for the swap partition. You may also create separate partitions for the home directory ("/home") and the boot partition ("/boot") if you prefer.

  • Format the partitions using mkfs. For example, type "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1" if you want to format the root partition.

  • Mount the partitions. For example, if you want to mount the root partition to "/mnt", you can type "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt".

  • Install the Arch Linux base system using the pacstrap command. For example, you can type "pacstrap /mnt base".

  • Create the fstab file using the genfstab command. For example, you can type "genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab".

  • Chroot into the new system using the arch-chroot command. For example, you can type "arch-chroot /mnt".

  • Set the system clock using the timedatectl command. For example, you can type "timedatectl set-ntp true".

  • Install the bootloader. You can install it using the Pacman command if you are using GRUB. For example, you can type "pacman -S grub".

  • Configure the bootloader. If you are using GRUB, you can configure it using the grub-mkconfig command. For example, you can type "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg".

  • Create a user account using the useradd function. For example, you can type "useradd -m -g users -G wheel username" to create a user with the username "username".

  • Set the password for the user account using the password command. For example, you can type "passwd username" to set the password for the user with the username "username".

  • Exit the chroot environment using the "exit" command.

  • Unmount the partitions using the "umount" command. For example, you can type "umount /mnt".

  • Reboot the system using the "reboot" command. Your Arch Linux installation should now be complete.
