alis\n\n![Arch Linux](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/picodotdev/alis/main/images/archlinux-badge.svg)\n![Bash](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/picodotdev/alis/main/images/sh-bash-badge.svg)\n![Shellcheck](https://github.com/picodotdev/alis/actions/workflows/shellcheck.yml/badge.svg)\n\nArch Linux Install Script (or alis, also known as _the Arch Linux executable installation guide and wiki_) installs an unattended, automated and customized Arch Linux system.\n\nalis is a simple Bash script developed from many Arch Linux Wiki pages that fully automates the installation of an [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org/) system after booting from the original Arch Linux installation media.\n\nIt contains the same commands that you would type and execute one by one interactively to complete the installation. The only user intervention needed is to edit a configuration file to choose the installation options and preferences from partitioning, to encryption, bootloader, file system, language and keyboard mapping, desktop environment, kernels, packages to install and graphic drivers. This automation makes the installation easy and fast, as fast as your internet connection allows.\n\nIf some time later after a system update, for any reason the system does not boot correctly, a recovery script is also provided to enter into a recovery mode that allows you to downgrade packages or execute any other commands to restore the system. Also, a log of the installation can be taken with \u003ca href=\"https://asciinema.org/\"\u003easciinema\u003c/a\u003e.\n\nA simple powerful Bash based script for an unattended, easy and fast way to install Arch Linux.\u003cbr\u003e\nBoot. Get. Configure. Install. Enjoy.\n\n**Warning! This script can delete all partitions of the persistent storage. It is recommended to test it first in a virtual machine like \u003ca href=\"https://www.virtualbox.org/\"\u003eVirtualBox\u003c/a\u003e.**\n\nCurrently these scripts are for me, but maybe they are useful for you too.\n\nFollow the [Arch Way](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_Linux) of doing things and learn what this script does. This will allow you to know what is happening.\n\nPlease, don't ask for support for this script in Arch Linux forums, first read the [Arch Linux wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org), the [Installation Guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide) and the [General Recommendations](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/General_recommendations), later compare those commands with the commands of this script.\n\nFor new features, improvements and bugs, fill an issue in GitHub or make a pull request. You can test it in a virtual machine (strongly recommended) like [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) before you run it in real hardware. If you test it in real hardware, please send me an email to pico.dev@gmail.com with the machine description and tell me if something goes wrong or all works fine.

Which are your computer specs, which is your alis configuration, if is your personal or working computer, if all worked fine or some suggestion to improve the script\n\n## Media reference\n\n* 2022.01 [Arch + Alis, Arco Linux](https://www.arcolinuxiso.com/aa/) ([video playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlloYVGq5pS7lMblPjiifVxxnMAqYzBU5))\n* 2020.07 [Arch installer - alis](https://r1ce.net/2020/07/07/arch-installer-alis/)\n* 2019.06 [Arch Linux OS Challenge: Install Arch 'The Easy Way' With These 2 Alternative Methods](https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2019/06/10/arch-linux-os-challenge-2-alternatives-install-gui-script-easy/)\n\n## Alternatives\n\nThere are other quite good similar projects that can be used as alternative to install a vanilla Arch Linux without any additions.\n\n* [Arch Installer](https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall) (archinstall) (maybe is the most relevant as is included in the official installation media)\n* [archfi](https://github.com/MatMoul/archfi/)\n* [Archlinux Ultimate Installer (aui)](https://github.com/helmuthdu/aui) (only accepts patches)\n\nAlso, if you prefer to install an Arch Linux using a guided graphical installer you can choose an [Arch based distribution](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch-based_distributions#Active). \n\n* [ArcoLinux](https://arcolinux.com/)\n* [Manjaro](https://manjaro.org/)\n* [EndeavourOS](https://endeavouros.com/)\n* [GarudaLinux](https://garudalinux.org/)\n* [Archlabs](https://archlabslinux.com/)\n* [RebornOS](https://rebornos.org/)\n* [BlackArch](https://blackarch.org/)\n\nAlso and recommended for new Arch Linux newcomers to follow the Arch Way of doing things is a good way to use and learn about Arch. There are many guides out there, the official Arch Linux installation guide the first one. These are other good ones that explains step by step from instalation media creation to first boot and programs installation, all the necessary to start.\n\n* [The Arch Linux Handbook](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-install-arch-linux/)\n\n## Test in VirtualBox with Packer\n\nVirtualBox and [Packer](https://packer.io/) are required.\n\n* Firmware: efi, bios\n* File system: ext4, btrfs, f2fs, xfs\n* Partition: luks, lvm\n* Bootloader: grub, refind, systemd\n* Desktop environment: gnome, kde, xfce, ...\n\n```\n$ packer plugins install
