# Vanilla Arch Installer
## Only for Arch linux users -> [Arch Linux Installation Guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide)
***
#### Write Iso to Usb [Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB_flash_installation_medium#Using_basic_command_line_utilities)
```bash
# sudo dd bs=4M if=path/to/archlinux-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sd_X_ conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress
```
***
#### En localization is default; for change
* `./installer` lines : 11 - 12
* `./chroot` lines : 3 - 14
* `./packages` lines : 673 - 674
#### Boot from [archlinux.iso](https://archlinux.org/download/), then
* we are waiting for a few minutes until the repositories update (`cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist` - reflector.service update)
* `pacman -Sy pacman` if error try:
* `pacman -Scc`
* `pacman-key --init`
* `pacman-key --populate`
* `pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring`
* `pacman -Sy git`
* `git clone https://github.com/ibra-kdbra/ArchConf`
* `cd ArchConf && ./installer`
***
#### [Arch Linux Installation Guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide)
##### it is advisable to use [Archinstall](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall) with *minimal* installation
* set japanese support: `setfont VGA8x16`
* `archinstall`
##### the old version
* `./installer` - install system like [Arch Linux Installation Guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide)
* `/dev/vda` - auto mount (vda - default disk in Gnome Boxes)
* other - manual mount
* `./chroot` *(run from ./installer)* - install system in arch-root mode like [Arch Linux Installation Guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide#Chroot)
#### NafmanOs - need [Git](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Git) installed
* `./packages` - install desktops, packages and settings it
* Openbox, i3wm, Qtile -> my settings
* other -> default settings
* **Qtile**, **i3wm**, **Openbox**
* **Xfce**
* **Lxde**
* **Lxqt**
* **Enlightenment**
* **Mate**
* **Cinnamon**
* **Gnome**
* **Budgie**
* **Pantheon**
* **Kde Plasma**
* **Deepin**
* `./swapfile` - create swapfile in work system
* `./links` - creating a working link system (for me: ibrakdbra disk's system)
