## Arch OS Installation
To install Arch OS, an internet connection is required, as many packages will be downloaded during the installation process.
### 1. Prepare bootable USB Device
- Download latest Arch OS ISO from **[GitHub](https://github.com/murkl/arch-os/releases/latest)**
- Alternatively, download official Arch Linux ISO from **[archlinux.org](https://www.archlinux.org/download)** or **[archlinux.de](https://www.archlinux.de/download)**
- Use **[Ventoy](https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html)** or your prefered iso writer tool to create a bootable USB device
- Alternatively (Linux only): **[➜ Arch OS Creator](https://github.com/murkl/arch-os-creator)**
### 2. Configure BIOS / UEFI Settings
- Disable Secure Boot
- Set Boot Mode to UEFI
### 3. Boot from USB Device
- Load prefered keyboard layout (optional): `loadkeys de`
- Connect to WLAN (optional): `iwctl station wlan0 connect 'SSID'`
#### 3.1. Run Arch OS Installer
```
curl -Ls bit.ly/arch-os | bash
```
**Note:** _Cancel the Arch OS Installer with `Ctrl + c`. The properties will be restored upon the next execution._
**[➜ See Advanced Installation](DOCS.md#advanced-installation)**
## System Maintenance
After installing Arch OS with the default properties preset, most maintenance tasks are performed automatically. However, the following steps must be executed manually on a regular basis:
- Regularly upgrade your system packages (Pacman/AUR & Flatpak)
- Regularly read the **[Arch Linux News](https://www.archlinux.org/news)** (preferably before upgrading your system)
- Regularly check & merge new configurations with `pacdiff` (preferably after each system upgrade)
- Consult the **[Arch Linux Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org)** (if you need help)
To streamline this process, you can use the preinstalled **[➜ Arch OS System Manager](https://github.com/murkl/arch-os-manager)**
If you need to rescue your Arch OS in case of a crash, boot from an **[Arch ISO Device](#1-prepare-bootable-usb-device)** and start the **[➜ Arch OS Recovery](https://github.com/murkl/arch-os-recovery)** with:
```
curl -Ls bit.ly/arch-os-recovery | bash
```
