## Using a Live ISO Image
If you are testing a commit from the repository using the vanilla Arch Live ISO image, you can replace the version of archinstall with a new version and run that. To do this, you will first need to establish a network connection and run `pacman -Sy; pacman -S git python-pip`. Once you have pip installed, run `pacman -R archinstall`. Then, clone the repo using `git clone https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall`, and cd into the archinstall directory. Alternatively, you can checkout a different branch or fork of the project. Build the project and install it using `python setup.py build; python setup.py install`. Then, run archinstall with `python -m archinstall`.
If you want to test a commit, branch or bleeding edge release from the repository using the vanilla Arch Live ISO image, you can replace the version of archinstall with a new version and run that with the steps described below.

3. Uninstall the previous version of archinstall with `pip uninstall archinstall`
4. Now clone the latest repository with `git clone https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall`
5. Enter the repository with `cd archinstall`
*At this stage, you can choose to check out a feature branch for instance with `git checkout torxed-v2.2.0`*
6. Build the project and install it using `python setup.py build` and `python setup.py install`
After this, running archinstall with `python -m archinstall` will run against whatever branch you chose in step 5.
