I haven't made a video in awhile due to a major catastrophe in my area and I felt like I needed to do this video. After all, an Arch Linux installation is relaxing and therapeutic. I install Arch inside VirtualBox, so install VirtualBox if you want to follow along. NOTE: I did this as a UEFI installation. If you want to see this done using MBR, check out the 2019 Arch Linux Installation Guide, but be aware the pacstrap commands have changed since that video (be sure to pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpskN_jKyhc - Arch Linux Installtion Guide 2019 SOME COMMANDS I RAN: Using fdisk: fdisk -l (lists out the partitions) fdisk /dev/sda In fdisk, "m" for help In fdisk, "o" for DOS partition or "g" for GPT In fdisk, "n" for add new partition In fdisk, "p" for primary partition (if using MBR instead of GPT) In fdisk, "t" to change partition type In fdisk, "w" (write table to disk) Make filesystem: mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1 mkswap /dev/sda2 swapon /dev/sda2 mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3 Base Install: mount /dev/sda3 /mnt (mounts it to mnt on live image) pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware genfstab -U /mnt TWO GREATER THAN SIGNS /mnt/etc/fstab (YouTube doesn't allow angle brackets) Chroot: arch-chroot /mnt (change into root directory of our new installation) ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/REGION/CITY /etc/localtime hwclock --systohc (sets the hardware clock) pacman -S nano nano /etc/locale.gen locale-gen nano /etc/hostname nano /etc/hosts Users and passwords: passwd (set root pass) useradd -m username (make another user) passwd username (set that user's password) usermod -aG wheel,audio,video,optical,storage username Sudo: pacman -S sudo EDITOR=nano visudo GRUB: pacman -S grub pacman -S efibootmgr dosfstools os-prober mtools (if doing UEFI) mkdir /boot/EFI (if doing UEFI) mount /dev/sda1 /boot/EFI #Mount FAT32 EFI partition (if doing UEFI) grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=grub_uefi --recheck (if doing UEFI) grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Networking: pacman -S networkmanager systemctl enable NetworkManager Reboot: exit the chroot by typing "exit" umount /mnt (unmounts /mnt) reboot (or shutdown now if doing this in VirtualbBox) Remember to detach the ISO in VirtualBox before reboot.
