Arch Linux **does not** come default with a graphical desktop environment.\n\n# Demo / Screenshot\nA demo can be viewed on \u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://youtu.be/ZRRSUxGF_Es\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"docs/_static/youtube_logo.png\" width=\"80px\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\n![screenshot](screenshot.png)\n\n# Pre-built Live ISO:\n\nA pre-built ISO from the steps below, can be found [here](https://hvornum.se/archiso/).\nWhich also come with pre-built graphical support for:\n\n * VirtualBox\n * kvm / qemu\n * VMWare\n * And most hardware that supports basic drivers such as:\n   * [mesa](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=mesa)\n   * [xf86-video-fbdev](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=xf86-video-fbdev)\n   * [xf86-video-vesa](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=xf86-video-vesa)\n   * [xf86-video-vmware](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=xf86-video-vmware)\n\n# Build into a Arch ISO medium\n\nFollow the basics steps for **releng** on [Archiso wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso). Then, before you build, do the following steps:\n\n```\n# cd ~/archiso_build_folder\n# cat \u003c\u003cEOF \u003e\u003e ./packages.x86_64\npython\npython-systemd\npython-psutil\ngit\nxorg-server\nxorg-xinit\nxorg-twm\nchromium\nwhich\nEOF\n# cat \u003c\u003cEOF \u003e\u003e ./airootfs/root/customize_airootfs.sh\ncd /root\ngit clone --recursive https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall_gui.git\ncp archinstall_gui/INSTALL/archinstall_gui.service /etc/systemd/system/\ncp archinstall_gui/INSTALL/xinitrc /etc/X11/xinit/\ncp -r archinstall_gui /srv/\nchmod +x /srv/archinstall_gui/webgui.py\nsystemctl daemon-reload\nsystemctl enable archinstall_gui.service\nEOF\n# mkdir -p ./airootfs/etc/skel\n# echo '[[ -z $DISPLAY \u0026\u0026 $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] \u0026\u0026 sh -c \"startx\"' \u003e\u003e ./airootfs/etc/skel/.zprofile\n```\n\nThis will auto-run the backend webservice that does all the actual work.\u003cbr\u003e\nThen, on boot it will launch `X` with `chromium` in full-screen mode *(thanks to the `xinitrc` from the `INSTALL` folder of this repo)*.\n\n**Important note:** You'll also need to include a graphics driver *(not included in the steps above)* in [packages.x86_64](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso#Installing_packages). Since this is a graphical installer, a working `xorg` environment is needed. As an example, for [VirtualBox](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox#), this means [xf86-video-vmware](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox#Install_the_Guest_Additions) needs to be added into `packages.x86_64`.\n\nNow, do `sudo ./build.sh -v` and a finished ISO should pop out under `./out`.\n\n# Troubleshooting\n\nIn case of installation errors, check the \"Install log\",\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd post the copy of `/root/archinstall.log` here on github as an issue *(Found on the live medium)*.\n\nAlso doing `journalctl -a -n 500 -u archinstall_gui | less -S` might give useful indiciations on what went wrong, stack traces might end up in the journal output.\n\n\u003e *note*: The `archinstall.log` might be elsewhere if you're running this as a standalone application to install from a already existing Arch Linux installation.\n\nFinally, just asking here for help is fine too. I'll support in any way I can.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftorxed%2Farchinstall_gui","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftorxed%2Farchinstall_gui","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftorxed%2Farchinstall_gui/lists"}
