# Arch Linux: Installer and setup
Arch Linux is a great distro, but I spend a lot of time installing and setting
up with my preferences then here are some scripts for execute all of this stuff
or understand how the Arch Linux works.
---
## Steps
### 1.1 Create your bootloader USB to boot with Arch Linux.
[Arch Linux official documentation.](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_flash_installation_media)
- This project has a script to
[create a USB flash installation media](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airvzxf/archLinux-installer-and-setup/master/src/laptop_MSI_GT73EVR_7R_Titan_Pro/01-bootable-usb/bootable-usb.sh)
Or
- Download the Arch Linux image.
[The official server](http://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/iso/latest/)
[Download from the official site](https://www.archlinux.org/download/)
- Create the bootable USB in GNU/Linux
- Use this command where sdx is your USB device, to find what is this, run
sudo fdisk -l and try to search your USB and the device name. Your USB
must be formatted to FAT32.
Warning: This will irrevocably destroy all data on /dev/sdx.
```sh
sudo fdisk -l
sudo cfdisk /dev/sd[x]
# Delete all the partitions.
# Select: New -> Partition size [enter] -> Primary -> Enable "Bootable" -> Type -> "b W95 FAT32" -> Write -> yes -> Quite
sudo dd bs=4M if=[path_file_archlinux.iso] of=/dev/sd[x] status=progress && sync
```
### 1.2 If you want to create a custom bootloader USB installing git or another packages you are able to run my scripts.
1. Create the ISO file based in our setup.
[Create a custom Arch Linux ISO](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airvzxf/archLinux-installer-and-setup/master/src/laptop_MSI_GT73EVR_7R_Titan_Pro/01-bootable-usb/custom-bootable-usb.sh)
```sh
# You are able to change the directory where the archiso should be create.
# And the packages which you are looking.
# Execute the scripts
./custom-bootable-usb.sh
```
2. Create the USB bootable based on your custom Arch Linux ISO.
[Create a custom Arch Linux USB flash media](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airvzxf/archLinux-installer-and-setup/master/src/laptop_MSI_GT73EVR_7R_Titan_Pro/01-bootable-usb/custom-bootable-usb-creating-usb.sh)
```sh
# You are able to change the directory where the ISO should be find.
# Execute the scripts
./custom-bootable-usb-creating-usb.sh
```
### 2. Init
Reboot your computer with your bootloader USB plugged in your computer and init
the system with the USB.
1. Select the first option which is "Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI CD".
2. Wait for the login session, if it requires a user you can write root and
press [enter].
3. Connect to internet.
- If your computer is not connected with ethernet wire you need to setup
the wifi with this command.
```sh
# Select your network and write your password.
sudo wifi-menu
```
4. Download the "init script" to start this journey.
This script helps to download the archLinux project in your computer to
proceed with the installation.
Before run the script change the name and e-mail variables in the 'init.sh'
file.
```sh
cd ~/
# This is the MSI short link
curl -L https://goo.gl/vkE1DS > init.sh
# For MSI Laptop
#curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airvzxf/archLinux-installer-and-setup/master/src/laptop_ASUS_K46CB/02-init/init.sh > init.sh
# For ASUS Laptop
#curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airvzxf/archLinux-installer-and-setup/master/src/laptop_MSI_GT73EVR_7R_Titan_Pro/02-init/init.sh > init.sh
# Change your name and e-mail from the init.sh file executing the nano command.
# nano init.sh
chmod +x init.sh
./init.sh
```
