An intuitive way to install ArchLinux

by Felipe Facundes

Telegram Channel: https://t.me/s/PlayOnGit
Site: https://linuxgamers.github.io/

Step 01 - Connect to the Internet.


Check your Wifi network interface:

iwconfig

Enter the IWD interface:

iwctl

Inside the interface, type the following commands:

  • device list

To start searching the network assuming your device is wlan0

  • station wlan0 scan

To list available networks (SSID)

  • station wlan0 get-networks

Finally, connecting to the Internet

  • station wlan0 connect SSID

Optional Step - Backup - For a system reinstall without formatting


BACKUP CAN BE, FOR A LIST.


  • For a reinstall, downloading the packages again:
Read. In the line below contains 2 command lines, obey each command:
    • pacman -Qnq | tee list.txt &>/dev/null
    • pacman -S $(cat list.txt)

OR YOU CAN REUSE EXISTING PACKAGES FROM YOUR HD WITH THIS METHOD:


Read. In the line below contains 3 command lines, obey each command:

First mount the root partition (/)

    • mount /dev/sdX /mnt
    • cd /mnt
    • rm -rf bin dev lib lib64 mnt opt proc root run sbin srv sys tmp usr

Analyze if there is subvolume interfering:

Read. In the line below contains 2 command lines, obey each command:
    • btrfs subvol list -a /mnt/
    • btrfs subvol delete /mnt/var/lib/machines

Back up existing packages in the cache:

Read. In the line below contains 13 command lines, obey each command:
    • cd /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg/
    • mkdir pkg_bkp
    • mv *.pkg.* pkg_bkp/
    • mv pkg_bkp /mnt/
    • cd /mnt
    • rm -rf var
    • mkdir -p /mnt/var/cache/pacman/
    • mkdir -p /mnt/var/lib/machines/
    • mkdir -p /mnt/proc/bus/usb/
    • mv pkg_bkp pkg
    • mv pkg /mnt/var/cache/pacman/
    • cd /mnt/boot/
    • rm -rf *

Step 02 - Partitioning and Formatting:


Partition the HD


Create "sda1" 250MB to boot - If it is UEFI the partition of BOOT have to be in FAT.

Create "sda2" a partition for the root (/) of the system (root) of at least 30GB.

Create "sda3" 512MB or 3GB for swap/ 3GB if you want sleep mode - can be a larger size, up to the same number of your RAM


To partition use these commands:

To check existing partitions:

    • blkid
    • fdisk -l

To quickly zero the HD and create a new partition table:

cfdisk -z /dev/sda

To just create partitions within an existing partition table:

cfdisk /dev/sda

For another partitioner in text mode, very efficient by the way, in my opinion the best: parted

parted /dev/sda

To properly format each linux partition. Format in ext4 64Bits or XFS.

Example:

    • mke2fs -text4 -O 64bit /dev/sdX
Or
    • mkfs.xfs /dev/sdX

EXT4 and more compatible with DESKTOP programs: games, etc. Not to mention that ext4 is a mature system. Which supports improper shutdown.

On the other hand XFS is the fastest file system with proper support for SSDs. Equally, it is a mature system with Journaling.

    • mke2fs -text4 -O 64bit -L ROOT /dev/sdX
Ou
    • mkfs.xfs -L ROOT /dev/sdX

For UEFI:


The partition /boot or /boot/EFI already have to be in FAT-12/16/32

It is worth noting that a partition FAT12 have to have at least 1M. already the FAT16 with at least 9M and FAT32 with at least 33M

If you are going to use it as /boot have to have at least 250M as /boot/EFI is the minimum indicated above corresponding to the chosen FAT partition type.


Use -F12 for FAT12. Example:

  • Use: -s2 to reduce cluster size and make the partition readable by UEFI.
  • mkfs.fat -F12 -s2 -n EFI /dev/sdX
  • Else:
    • mkfs.fat -F12 -n EFI /dev/sdX

FORMATTING EXAMPLE

The option -L assigns labels to partitions, which helps to query them later through /dev/disk/by-label without having to remember your numbers. Now mount your partitions:

mkfs.fat -F12 -n EFI /dev/sd1               # <‐ EFI partition, Required for EFI systems.
mke2fs -text4 -O 64bit -L BOOT /dev/sda2    # <‐ BOOT partition, is Optional, but good practice to use separate BOOT partition in case of errors.
mkfs.xfs -L ROOT /dev/sda3                  # <‐ ROOT partition.
mkfs.xfs -L HOME /dev/sda4                  # <‐ HOME partition, Optional.
mkswap -L SWAP /dev/sda5                    # <‐ SWAP partition, Optional.

PARTITION TABLE ASSEMBLY EXAMPLE, ACCORDING TO FORMATTING ABOVE:

Read. In the line below contains 7 command lines, obey each command:
 1. - swapon /dev/sda5                # <- Enable SWAP
 2. - mount /dev/sda3 /mnt            # <- Mounting the ROOT Partition
 3. - mkdir -p /mnt/home              # <- Create home folder
 4. - mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/home        # <- Mount HOME Partition 
 5. - mkdir -p /mnt/boot/EFI           # <- Create boot folder and EFI 
 6. - mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot        # <- Mount the BOOT Partition 
 7. - mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/EFI     # <- Mount the EFI Partition

Step 03 - FINALLY, LET'S GO TO INSTALLATION:


To just load the keyboard layout for US:

Read. In the line below contains 2 command lines, obey each command:
    • loadkeys us
    • export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Read. In the line below contains 2 command lines, obey each command:
    • pacstrap -i /mnt grub base wget base-devel linux mkinitcpio nano
    • genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

Now it's inside the system (chroot):

arch-chroot /mnt

For encrypted HDs, that is, only, if you deliberately encrypted your HD, to do so, follow this LINK from my tutorial:

https://github.com/felipefacundes/desktop/tree/master/GRUB


In order for the system to start correctly, install GRUB:

Read. In the line below contains 2 command lines, obey each command:
    • pacman -S grub ntfs-3g fuse2 dosfstools efibootmgr exfat-utils mtools gpart lzop udftools fuseiso libisoburn sdl xz gettext device-mapper bash-completion bash freetype2 xfsprogs polkit
    • mkinitcpio -P

For systems UEFI


The partition /boot or /boot/EFI already have to be in FAT-12/16/32. As already mentioned.

mkfs.fat -F12 -n EFI /dev/sdX


Now prepare GRUB for UEFI:

  • If the EFI partition is separated and mounted in the folder /boot/EFI:

grub-install --verbose --recheck --target=x86_64-efi --force --efi-directory=/boot/EFI --bootloader-id=ARCH --removable

  • Or if the entire BOOT partition is on FAT and mounted on /boot:

grub-install --verbose --recheck --target=x86_64-efi --force --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=ARCH --removable


For BIOS (i386-pc):

  • Use --force if partition table is GPT
  • grub-install --verbose --recheck --target=i386-pc --force /dev/sda

Finish with:

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg


If you dual boot with Rwindows, install the following "os-prober", then repeat the above command, or do it before running:

pacman -S os-prober


"Root password"

passwd root


Create your username: Don't forget to change the name: YourPreferenceUser <-- To your preferred Username. No accents. Example: john

Read. In the line below contains 2 command lines, obey each command:
    • useradd -m -g users -G daemon,disk,wheel,rfkill,dbus,network,video,audio,storage,power,users,input -s /bin/bash YourPreferenceUser
    • usermod -a -G daemon,disk,wheel,rfkill,dbus,network,video,audio,storage,power,users,input YourPreferenceUser

Creating a password, for your user:

passwd YourPreferenceUser


Editing SUDOers to have admin access:

nano /etc/sudoers


Look for the line: "root ALL=(ALL) ALL"

And just below include your username like this: YourPreferenceUser ALL=(ALL) ALL

root ALL=(ALL) ALL
YourPreferenceUser ALL=(ALL) ALL

For XORG - That is, without it you will not have a graphical interface, it is extremely important:

pacman -S xorg-xinit xorg-server xorg-server-devel


If you dual boot with Windows, use:

Read. In the line below contains 3 command lines, obey each command:
    • hwclock --systohc --localtime
    • echo -e "HARDWARECLOCK="localtime" >> /etc/locale.conf"
    • echo -e "echo -e "UTC=no" >> /etc/locale.conf"

To your hostname:

echo ArchLinux > /etc/hostname


To have internet:

Read. In the line below contains 3 command lines, obey each command:
    • pacman -S wireless_tools wpa_supplicant network-manager-applet networkmanager
    • systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
    • systemctl start NetworkManager.service

Step 04 - Drivers


For Nvidia drivers:

Enable Multilib in /etc/pacman.conf

Strip the hashtag before the two lines: [multilib] and Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

pacman -Syy nvidia-dkms linux-headers dkms nvidia-settings lib32-libvdpau lib32-libglvnd libglvnd libvdpau nvidia-utils opencl-nvidia xsettingsd xsettings-client ffnvcodec-headers libxnvctrl xf86-video-nouveau lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-opencl-nvidia nccl nvidia-cg-toolkit
