Synchronize the zone information by typing: ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/ Select your region as necessary. nano /etc/nf Add the following line LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Save the file.Ģ0. Configure the Language nano /etc/locale.gen Uncomment en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 Save the File.ġ8. Change the system root to the Arch Linux installation directory by typing: arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bashġ7. After bootsraping the system create fstab file using following command: genfstab /mnt > /mnt/etc/fstab
Bootstrap the system by typing: pacstrap /mnt base base-develġ5. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt mkdir /mnt/home mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/homeġ4. Mount Primary Partition /dev/sda1 to /mnt and Logical Partition to/mnt/home using the following commands. Format Swap Partition and Activate mkswap /dev/sda2 swapon /dev/sda2ġ3. The next step is to “Format Partitions” mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 -Root Partition mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3-Logical Partitionġ2.
The Linux Commands Reference Sheet will definitely become useful when performing an Arch Linux install.11. With enough practice hopefully you can do the same with Arch or the Linux distribution that satisfies your computing needs. Refer to this blog post, “ Full Arch Linux Guide in 29 Tweets” for guidance. Once you gain enough confidence in VirtualBox, install Arch on a laptop or desktop. Before starting the process yourself, download an ISO image of Arch from the mirrorlist here and a copy of Oracle’s VirtualBox. The video outlines the complete installation of Arch and the KDE 5 GUI in VirtualBox. Arch Linux InstallationĪrch is one of the more difficult installations that requires manual commands and actions unnecessary in other distributions such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and other operating systems that could easily be installed with an ISO image on DVD, bootable USB flash drive, or USB with Yumi. Afterwards see what you did right, where you erred, and why. Or you could do a test run without watching the video walk through or using our Arch Linux Installation Checklist below. Watch the video to observe how to complete an Arch Linux install on VirtualBox. The Arch installation provides the perfect opportunity to fail and grow from your mistakes. If you’re going to fail when learning about new software, then fail in VirtualBox. If you’re not pushing the limits and setting realistics stretch goals, then you’re not learning. For this Friday, focus on increasing the number of times you fail at work.
