Arch Linux Installation Guide (2019)

WARNING: The installation process for Arch Linux changed (slightly) a few weeks after I made this video. When you run the pacstrap command, you now need to “pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware”. For a more up-to-date version of this guide check out:

Today, I’m going to run through the Arch Linux installation inside a virtual machine (VirtualBox). If you have never tried to install Arch before, running through the installation in a VM a few times can boost your confidence a bit before taking the plunge on your real machine.

SOME OF THE COMMANDS I RAN:

# ping google.com (CTRL-c to kill the ping)
# timedatectl set-ntp true
# timedatectl status
# cfdisk
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
# mkswap /dev/sda2
# swapon /dev/sda2
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
# pacstrap /mnt base
# arch-chroot /mnt
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Region/City /etc/localtime
# hwclock –systohc
# locale-gen

# nano/etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

# nano /etc/hostname
myhostname (dt was what I used)

# nano /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
127.0.1.1 myhostname.localdomain myhostname

# passwd
# useradd -m newusername (I used derek)
# passwd yourusername
# usermod -aG wheel,audio,video,optical,storage yourusername
# pacman -S vim
# visudo
# pacman -S grub
# grub-install /dev/sda
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# pacman -S xorg
