# Pre-usage
In case you didn't know, once booted into your archiso, if you don't have a wired connection, use the following commands to discover and connect to wifi:
```
iwctl
station list
```
Find your station, for example `wlan0`, and:
```
station wlan0 get-networks
```
Then connect to your network using:
```
station wlan0 connect MYNETWORK
exit
```
#
Or, in case you already know your station and network name:
```
iwctl station wlan0 connect MYNETWORK
```
# Usage
Boot into live ISO and write:
```bash
curl -LO bit.ly/archpoi; sh archpoi
```
Or, in case you don't like short links:
```bash
curl -LO raw.githubusercontent.com/reineimi/archpoi/x/archpoi.sh; sh archpoi.sh
```
# Guide
**First stage** - you'll go through disk setup process.
What you have to do is create:
1. Boot partition (usually `+512M` in size)
2. Root partition (any desired size)
3. Swap partition (usually either not set up or is minimum `+4G` in size, extends RAM space)
#
Then run `lua poi.lua` and go through what's written in the console - in other words, **second stage**.
#
The **third stage** comes after you've installed the system according to the script and ran `lua poi.lua` once again.
In this case you'd have to skip *automatic installation*, *disk formatting* and *system installation* processess and proceed to further steps - bootloader installation and more.
#
After all's done, however, you might not be able to find your system in the boot menu.
If that's the case, you should **create** a new boot entry in your bootloader.
You'll find the image somewhere among the listed filesystems under `efi/GRUB/grubx64.efi`.
#
If you've installed *extra scripts*, then, after booting into system, you can open terminal and run `sh poi.extra` and `sh poi.eimi` if needed.
⚠️ Additionally, it's recommended to run `cleanup` command (declared in my `.bashrc`) in order to delete the installation files left by `pacman` to free up some disk space. You can do that occasionally.
# Custom lists
During installation, you'll be able to select a custom `poi.list`.
All you need is to navigate it to a repository which contains a `poi.list` in it.
The format of the link is: `user/repo/branch`.
The format of the `poi.list` must also follow a strict pattern, including empty lines (see current [poi.list](https://github.com/reineimi/archpoi/blob/x/poi.list)):
```
# Packages_Add
# Packages_Remove
# Services_Enable
# Services_Disable
```
# Files
`.sh` archpoi.sh
> Initial, introductory script, which also loads `poi.lua`.
`.lua` poi.lua
> Main installation logic.
`raw` poi.list
> A text file containing packages and services.
`.sh` poi.extra
> Optional post-installation script that will be taken from the same repo as `poi.list`.
You will find it at `/home//`.
`.sh` poi.eimi
> Same as `poi.extra` but with stuff I use personally.
Check if you need it or run `sudo rm poi.eimi`.
`.sh` .bashrc
> Will be included alongside `poi.extra`. This is a [bash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)) profile.
It contians handy command shortcuts. You can view it [here](https://github.com/reineimi/arch/blob/x/.bashrc).
# GNOME?
[GNOME](https://www.gnome.org/) is a Desktop Environment and Window Management software.
### Why prefer it over others?
It's well-refined, not particularly heavy, stable, user-friendly, minimalistic and compatible.
## Lua?
I haven't really looked into bash that much yet.
But also, I just love [Lua](https://www.lua.org/about.html).
## Arch?
I use [Arch](https://archlinux.org/) btw. Now you do too.
## Poi?
