Binary executable
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Archinstall can be compiled into a standalone executable.
|
|
For Arch Linux based systems, there's a package for this called `archinstall <https://archlinux.life/>`_.
|
|
|
|
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 <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/archiso#Custom_local_repository>`_ 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:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
[archlife]
|
|
Server = https://archlinux.life/$repo/os/$arch
|
|
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
|
|
|
|
You can now update your mirror-list and install `archinstall`.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
sudo pacman -Syy
|
|
sudo pacman -S archinstall
|
|
|
|
Using PKGBUILD
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The `source <https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall>`_ contains a binary `PKGBUILD <https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall/tree/master/PKGBUILD/archinstall>`_ 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.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
makepkg -s
|
|
|
|
Which should produce a `archinstall-X.x.z-1.pkg.tar.zst` that can be installed using:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
sudo pacman -U archinstall-X.x.z-1.pkg.tar.zst
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
For a complete guide on the build process, please consult the wiki on `PKGBUILD <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/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:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
nuitka3 --standalone --show-progress archinstall
|
|
|
|
This requires the `nuitka <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/nuitka/>`_ package as well as `python3` to be installed locally. |
