Archinstall can be compiled into a standalone executable. For Arch Linux based systems, there's a package for this called archinstall.

Using pacman

Currently, you need to create your own mirror or use https://archlinux.life as a mirror. We'll use the later for this example as it's less of a process to explain.

..note:: To create your own mirror, the archiso wiki has a good tutorial and explanation of how and what a custom mirror does.

Setup pacman to use https://archlinux.life as a mirror by modifying /etc/pacman.conf to contain the following:

[archlife]
Server = https://archlinux.life/$repo/os/$arch
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll

You can now update your mirror-list and install archinstall.

sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -S archinstall

Using PKGBUILD

The source contains a binary PKGBUILD which can be either copied straight off the website. Or cloned using git clone https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall.

Once you've obtained the PKGBUILD, building it is pretty straight forward.

makepkg -s

Which should produce a archinstall-X.x.z-1.pkg.tar.zst that can be installed using:

sudo pacman -U archinstall-X.x.z-1.pkg.tar.zst

Note

System Message: WARNING/2 (<stdin>, line 4); backlink

Duplicate explicit target name: "pkgbuild".

For a complete guide on the build process, please consult the wiki on PKGBUILD.

Manual compilation

You can compile the source manually without using a custom mirror or the PKGBUILD that is shipped. Simply clone or download the source, and while standing in the cloned folder ./archinstall, execute:

nuitka3  --standalone --show-progress archinstall

This requires the nuitka package as well as python3 to be installed locally.
