Arch Linux Installation Guide 2020 DistroTube I haven't made a video in awhile due to a major catastrophe in my area and I felt like I needed to do this video. After all, an Arch Linux installation is relaxing and therapeutic. I install Arch inside VirtualBox, so install VirtualBox if you want to follow along. NOTE: I did this as a UEFI installation. If you want to see this done using MBR, check out the 2019 Arch Linux Installation Guide, but be aware the pacstrap commands have changed since that video (be sure to pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpskN_jKyhc - Arch Linux Installtion Guide 2019 SOME COMMANDS I RAN: Using fdisk: fdisk -l (lists out the partitions) fdisk /dev/sda In fdisk, m for help In fdisk, o for DOS partition or g for GPT In fdisk, n for add new partition In fdisk, p for primary partition (if using MBR instead of GPT) In fdisk, t to change partition type In fdisk, w (write table to disk) Make filesystem: mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1 mkswap /dev/sda2 swapon /dev/sda2 mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3 Base Install: mount /dev/sda3 /mnt (mounts it to mnt on live image) pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware genfstab -U /mnt TWO GREATER THAN SIGNS /mnt/etc/fstab (YouTube doesn't allow angle brackets) Chroot: arch-chroot /mnt (change into root directory of our new installation) ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/REGION/CITY /etc/localtime hwclock systohc (sets the hardware clock) pacman -S nano nano /etc/locale.gen locale-gen nano /etc/hostname nano /etc/hosts Users and passwords: passwd (set root pass) useradd -m username (make another user) passwd username (set that user's password) usermod -aG wheel,audio,video,optical,storage username Sudo: pacman -S sudo EDITOR=nano visudo GRUB: pacman -S grub pacman -S efibootmgr dosfstools os-prober mtools (if doing UEFI) mkdir /boot/EFI (if doing UEFI) mount /dev/sda1 /boot/EFI #Mount FAT32 EFI partition (if doing UEFI) grub-install target=x86_64-efi bootloader-id=grub_uefi recheck (if doing UEFI) grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Networking: pacman -S networkmanager systemctl enable NetworkManager Reboot: exit the chroot by typing exit umount /mnt (unmounts /mnt) reboot (or shutdown now if doing this in VirtualbBox) Remember to detach the ISO in VirtualBox before reboot. - https://www.archlinux.org/ - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide

I have personal knowledge(more then 26 years) that on VirtualBox almost every OS can be installing and using. But in real its something different. I have loaded arch linux, and I can not install it. The most reasons are in a OS, while on second side on the same PC I installed ubuntu, debian, MX, Manjaro, Puppy etc more then 100 OS.
That is an user final decission for using Arch Linux yes or no. Because Ubuntu, Xubuntu or Manjaro can be installed easy. The second reason is a purpouse for using OS(want to learn something, or every day setup something, or working at daily basis ?) What is your purpouse ?
Thank you for really good tutorial.

Noob question.
I was installing arch linux. But the command iwctl says command not found.
What could be the issue. Im on the stage where I download firmware for intel cpu by command
(pacman -S xorg-server)
But this return a lot of errors. And says that could not resolve host. So i guess i need to reconnect to my wifi. But when i check ping it says
(Ping: google.con: Temporary failure in name resolution)
And when i try iwctl it says
(bash:iwctl: command not found)
So how do i check if im connected to the wifi, if its saying command not found???

I can't thank you enough. I wasn't able to ping any servers with error like can't resolve address and no network. went through many guides pages and 3 instruction videos, to finally learn from your video that I was missing one critical step,enable Network manager. I did that and boom, I have internet. Thanks a lot, my journey from ubuntu to arch begins here.

Could a person install ARCH linux and OPENBOX and be basically done with the main system??? Then only needed software???? I'm new at all this- and would love a system free from all the crap I don't want or need. Debian is good- stable and COMPLICATED to mess with.. Arch - more likely to be around longer and work better!!! SO- I need to learn.

You put me on the right path.
I now have a lightning fast linux with openbox & two vertical xfce panels. Hotkeys enabled. Everything works. Bloat free..
I put a plain dhclient instead of networkmanager. It works.
All the things that annoyed me with the preconfigured distros are gone! GONE !!!!
Thank you!!!!

Yep, six times on a VM is about right. It took me 3 times to get it to boot, but I forgot to install networkmanager, so didn't have internet access. Then I found that my PC uses UEFI. I'm having fun, though, and learning a lot.
This reminds me or installing Slackware in the 90's.

2:30 When I enable the 'EFI option', I am not able to get the system started -- virtual box is not able to find Arch; only when I do disable the 'EFI option', does 'Arch live' start to boot up... Why is this?

One missing configuration that gave me some problems when I installed a desktop environment is the locale.conf file. I created locale.conf and added LANG=en_US.UTF-8 to it.
