# Arch Linux Installation
This is a set of scripts installing Arch Linux and running post-installation
tasks, e.g. installing a desktop environment, packages, and config files. They
are intended for Cinnamon, GNOME, and KDE.
Requirements:
1. `curl`
2. `findutils`
3. `fzf`
4. `git`
5. `grep`
6. `sed`
## Install
The `install` script will install Arch Linux on a user-prompted block device.
Supports installations on hardware using UEFI or legacy BIOS and will set a GPT
partition table and ext4 filesystem. Other features, such as bootloader or
encryption, are set when prompted.
The OS can be configured for LVM-on-LUKS full-disk encryption or not. Using GRUB
will also encrypt the `/boot` directory and write a decryption key into the
initial ramdisk so that the password prompt only appears once. For alternate
bootloaders, the `boot` directory will remain unencrypted.
There is also the optional provision for creating a separate, unencrypted
partition of arbitrary size. Useful for creating shared filesystems readable on
Windows / MacOS for USB drive installations.
The rough partition scheme is:
```
1. BIOS compatibility partition, empty if GRUB not used (1 MiB)
2. EFI partition (512 MiB)
3. Share partition (optional)
4. Arch Linux system (Plain / LVM / LUKS-encrypted partitions or volumes)
- swap
- root
- home (optional)
```
**Note:** The script uses `sgdisk` for partitioning, which uses binary (base 2)
units for specifying partition sizes. For example, 500M corresponds to 500
mebibytes, not 500 megabytes.
To run, (need to be root):
```sh
sudo ./install
```
### Options
Installation options will be queries as the script runs.
#### Partitioning
```
1) Back
2) LVM on LUKS
3) LVM
4) Plain
```
2. Installs on LUKS-encrypted partition. Partitions (e.g. root and home) are
kept as logical volumes on the LUKS partition.
3. Installs on unencrypted LVM partition.
4. Installs everything on primary partitions.
#### Boot system
```
1) Back
2) GRUB
3) systemd-boot
4) EFISTUB
```
2. Installs GRUB, BIOS version if no EFI firmware is detected. Otherwise, the
EFI version is installed.
3. systemd-boot (previously gummiboot) installs kernels in `/boot` and copies
them over to `/efi`. SystemD path hooks are also installed to update kernel
images and microcode in `/efi` after updates.
4. Not supported yet...
#### Etc.
The script will also prompt for:
1. Host name
2. User name
3. User password
4. (Optional) LUKS password
5. Locale (e.g. `en_US.UTF-8`)
6. Time zone (e.g. `America/Toronto`)
The script will then mount the partitions, set up chroot, download and install
all the `base` and `base-devel` packages via `pacstrap`, set up the specified
user account, lock the root account, and unmount everything.
## Post-install
Once the base system is installed, use the `./postinstall` script (as the user
account, not root), to install the remaining packages, themes, etc.
Simply run:
```sh
./postinstall
```
The script will check if the dependencies are installed and if the network
connection is active. The rest should be self explanatory.
### Options
```
1) Quit 4) Miscellaneous 7) Applications
2) Autopilot 5) Desktop environment 8) Themes
3) Base 6) Network tools 9) Personalization
```
#### 2) Autopilot
