When installing a new OS, it is relevant to consider all the little details and the fine print it comes with. That is why I will try to install Arc Linux, as an attempt to learn more about Linux (distros) and commands. I will be documenting all the commands used into the terminal. Plus, I will add if possible all pictures and elements this post needs.
I followed this tutorial, but I will provide information on what the commands do (Watch here). I did also followed the official guide to install: archlinux Guide
First, create the virtual machine:
The first Element I encountered is that the time and date were out of sync in the system (remember everything is being done on a virtual machine). After some research, I found out that it is not essential to run that command in the first place since it can be achieved later on. 1
Once keyboard layout was configured using loadkeys es and we were able to connect to the internet, it’s time to start installing some packages that will be used later on in the system.
Once a connection to the internet is stablished, now timedatecrtl provides a synced device result.
After multiple commands (see pictures), I was not able to properly install Arch, it constantly kept showing error messages and booting into the .ISO
At the very end, I decided to use archinstall command following the next code:
execute
pacman -Sy archinstall(per the developer), to get the latest and most bug free release; then executearchinstall.
