# Arch installation checklist
|
|
||||||
This file contains simplified instructions for Arch Linux installation
|
|
||||||
Following these should lead to a full installation of barebone Arch system,
|
|
||||||
with grub bootloader and a priviledged sudoer user.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note: Running the script can automated many of these points, if you are comming
|
|
||||||
here after running the script, look for a line saying: **Proceed from this line, if you're reading after chrooting**
|
|
||||||
## Set keyboard layout
|
|
||||||
Default layout will be US
|
|
||||||
`ls /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/**/*.map.gz` <- list keymaps
|
|
||||||
`loadkeys de-latin1` <- modify layout
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Verify boot mode
|
|
||||||
`ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars` <- if exist, system is UEFI, else legacy BIOS
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Internet connection
|
|
||||||
Ethernet connection is automatic, WiFi:
|
|
||||||
`ip link` <- check network interface works and is enabled
|
|
||||||
`iwctl` <- authenticate to your WiFi network
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
`ping archlinux.org` <- test connection
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## System clock
|
|
||||||
`timedatectl set-ntp true` <- make sure the clock will be accurate
|
|
||||||
`timedatectl status` <- check the status
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Partition the disk
|
|
||||||
`fdisk /dev/sdX` <- make partitions
|
|
||||||
- EFI (if UEFI)
|
|
||||||
- Swap
|
|
||||||
- Root
|
|
||||||
- (Home)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Format the partitions and make filesystems
|
|
||||||
`mkfs.ext4 /dev/root_partition`
|
|
||||||
`mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/efi_system_partition`
|
|
||||||
`mkswap /dev/swap_partition`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Mount the file systems
|
|
||||||
`mount /dev/root_partition /mnt`
|
|
||||||
`mount /dev/efi_system_partition /mnt/boot`
|
|
||||||
`swapon /dev/swap_partition`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Install essentials
|
|
||||||
First select mirrors (`/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist`)
|
|
||||||
`pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware base-devel NetworkManager vim`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Fstab
|
|
||||||
`genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Chroot
|
|
||||||
`arch-chroot /mnt`
|
|
||||||
# Proceed from this line, if you're reading after chrooting
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Set time zone
|
|
||||||
`ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Region/Ciry /etc/localtime` <- specify timezone
|
|
||||||
`hwclock --systohc` <- synchronize clock, to generate `/etc/adjtime`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Localization
|
|
||||||
Edit `/etc/locale.gen` and uncomment `en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8` and ISO locales
|
|
||||||
`locale-gen` <- Generate locales
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Set LANG variable in `locale.conf`:
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Set persistent keyboard layout in `/etc/vconsole.conf`
|
|
||||||
(This will default to english, if not set)
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
KEYMAP=de-latin1
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Network Config
|
|
||||||
Define hostname in `/etc/hostname` (name of computer)
|
|
||||||
Add matching entries to `/etc/hosts`
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
127.0.0.1 localhost
|
|
||||||
::1 localhost
|
|
||||||
127.0.1.1 hostname.localdomain hostname
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Set root password or make other account
|
|
||||||
`passwd` <- Set root password
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It's better to work with priviledged user rather than root account directly.
|
|
||||||
To do this, we first have to install `sudo` and `vim`. (We did this with `pacstrap`)
|
|
||||||
After that, we can edit the configuration by `sudo EDITOR=vim visudo`, in which we will uncomment the line `%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL` and save
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After sudo is set up and `wheel` group is allowed to use it, we can make the user:
|
|
||||||
`useradd -G wheel,admin -d /path/to/home -m username -`
|
|
||||||
`passwd username`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After this, we can login as this user and make sure everything works as it shoud:
|
|
||||||
`sudo su username`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Install bootloader
|
|
||||||
This will only cover grub, for other bootloaders, visit `https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_boot_process#Boot_loader`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install `grub` package with pacman
|
|
||||||
Note: To detect other operating systems too, you will also need `os-prober` package, also with NTFS systems, if windows isn't detected, try installing `ntfs-3g` and remounting
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
UEFI:
|
|
||||||
`efibootmgr` package is also needed for UEFI systems
|
|
||||||
`grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=boot --bootloader-id=GRUB`
|
|
||||||
BIOS (Legacy):
|
|
||||||
`grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdX`, where sdX is the disk, **not a partition**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note: `--removable` option can be used, which will allow booting if EFI variables are reset or you move to another PC
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Generating grub configuration
|
|
||||||
`grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`
|
