Arch Installation

First flash the arch iso on your usb stick:

Then just boot onto it from your BIOS.

Manual beginning

This is the annoying part since i can't script it. If it doesn't work for you just use Anarchy installer, install arch on your hard drive in a minimal way (with no DE (Desktop Environment) and no WM (Window Manager)).

######################## MANUAL !!! ############################

ping -c3 archlinux.org

pacman -Syy
pacman -S reflector
reflector -c "France" -f 12 -l 10 -n 12 --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

fdisk -l | grep /dev/sd | grep Disk
#/dev/sda 64gb
cfdisk /dev/sda

mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt 
mkdir /mnt/boot/
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/

pacstrap /mnt base base-devel linux linux-firmware sudo nano wget 
genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
arch-chroot /mnt
#welcome to chroot, use the first script!

This will setup your /dev/sda1 as a bootable linux partition, and makes the last 8GB as the swap partition.

First Script: Chroot Script

wget https://blog.nowhere.moe/servers/Arch/1.sh
chmod +x 1.sh
nano 1.sh
./1.sh 

Just edit whatever you want in this script using nano and then execute it with ./1.sh

Post Install Script

After you've rebooted into your arch installation, you can configure your arch install however you want, but here's how i do it:

wget https://blog.nowhere.moe/servers/Arch/2.sh
chmod +x 2.sh
nano 2.sh
./2.sh 

Post-booting:

wget https://blog.nowhere.moe/servers/Arch/3.sh
chmod +x 3.sh
nano 3.sh
./3.sh
