|
|||
|
||||
To install archinstall and subsequently the guided installer, simply do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code::bash
|
||||
# pacman -S python-archinstall
|
||||
.. code-block:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
pacman -S python-archinstall
|
||||
|
||||
And to run it, execute archinstall as a Python module:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code::bash
|
||||
# python -m archinstall guided
|
||||
.. code-block:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
| The guided parameter is optional as it's the default behavior.
|
||||
python -m archinstall --script guided
|
||||
|
||||
| The ``--script guided`` argument is optional as it's the default behavior.
|
||||
| But this will start the process of guiding you through a installation of a quite minimal Arch Linux experience.
