### Build
A pre-built `iso` file is provided [here](https://github.com/matiasvlevi/garchiso/releases) however if you prefer building the file yourself, follow the next step.

This will create an `iso` file in the build directory
```
mkarchiso -v -w ./ -o ./build ./
```
for more information see the [Arch wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/archiso)'s page on the archiso

You can also find a prebuilt `iso` file in the releases

### Adding a persistent storage partition

specify your archiso device

```
source ./make_storage.sh /dev/sdX
```

this will create a partition that will be mounted in `/run/archiso/storage` once the archiso boots up.

4G of cowspace is also mounted to allow for other packages to be installed.
