This project consists of two scripts that automate the installation of Arch Linux. This can be particularly useful if you frequently install Arch Linux and would like to reduce the amount of manual work involved.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
- A system with Arch Linux ISO booted (you can use a Virtual Machine for testing)
- Internet access
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/anonithrax/archlinux-autoinstall.git
-
Navigate to the cloned directory
cd archlinux-autoinstall
-
Make the scripts executable
chmod +x install_arch.sh chmod +x arch_auto_install.py
-
Run the
install_arch.sh
script./install_arch.sh
After executing the install_arch.sh
script, it will check for Python, install it if necessary, and then run the arch_auto_install.py
script. During the execution of arch_auto_install.py
, you will be prompted to select a hard drive and partition sizes.
Running these scripts will make significant changes to the selected hard drive, including deleting all data on it. Make sure you understand what each script does before you run them, and only run them on a system or virtual machine that you are prepared to have wiped and configured for a new Arch Linux installation. Always ensure you have a backup of your data.
