Amazing script, thank you so much for this advice! One correction though: this script seems to only be left on github, it moved from sourceforge, but otherwise it's awesome!
Hi there! To be honest with you I prefer installing from the command line as it is really fine tuning. I guess it’s just a matter of personal preference. Cheers :)
It's working smarter instead of harder. Fiddling with text files gets old really fast and it takes forever. This is so much easier and more efficient. Automating the process to an extent.
It reminds me when I first installed Redhat many many years ago. Thanks a lot for this, after installing 3 arch system recently (thanks to you for the EFI part), I understand each step of the script and everything makes sense to me. Still learned more with this new video ! Keep them coming ;) Thanks again !
I don't understand one thing..... That is why did arch guys removed wifi-menu command and wget. When I installed in 2020 both were like it was not there and I had to first update it and then install wget..... I mean if something works just let it be there don't touch it
@@eflinux Hi, I'm getting an error trying to download the script. I get "wget will not execute and completion _wget exists" Nevermind, I was able to use curl. Sorry to bother you and thanks again!!!
This is amazing! Thank you so much for helping me. Btw I’m not a robot, I just have been having trouble with arch and I’ve been wanting to switch from windows 10 to Linux because my computer is slow as f. Thanks bro.
You can try via email, but I am not as fast as here in responding. Moreover, if you share with the community, someone who is having the same issues might find it helpful :)
Great video. I watched Arch installation on BIOS first and loved it. Have you ever looked at ArcoLinux? You might find it interesting. Keep it up, your content is awesome 🥂
@@eflinux i3 on Arco has been my daily driver for close to a year. It appears you've been busy with lots of other projects than taking a look. :) ICEwm has just been added for testing, and Sway and Dwm are in the works. I presume you're familiar with the Xtended ISO which has 6 TWMs and OpenBox. And then all those DE's.
@@eflinux nah. installation worked. and arch is working flawlessly. but i have developed addiction for configurating os and endlessly reading the arch wiki. is this normal? halp

@@eflinux English is not set when i check the settings its blank and I'm not getting any language to pick from drop down menu even though i clearly selected English while installing
It won't let me install grub at 8:48 because I don't have enough disk space. I have 45GB of space on my VM, TodoBerry's comment didn't help much as I think that 45GB should be enough. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? cat: write error: No space left on device Screenshot of error: i.imgur.com/NjQxYBQ.png
If anyone's interested here's my script: github.com/alexthelion335/auto-arch-install The script is mostly automated and not as complex as the one shown in this video.
@@eflinux Well it was my first time setting up a vm so I put a low amount of storage for the virtual disk. I put more storage into it and it let me install grub!

Thanks for the detailed video,i got stuck with manual install and your video helped me ,and i found it much easier with the script
You're welcome! Glad it worked out :)
Thank you for helping me install Arch! good video man
Thank! Glad it helped :)
Just moved from Ubuntu to Arch and your videos are some of the best Arch videos I’ve found on YT. Much appreciated 👍
Thanks!
You do good videos. I appreciate your time and effort you put in your work.
I appreciate that!
Amazing script, thank you so much for this advice!
One correction though: this script seems to only be left on github, it moved from sourceforge, but otherwise it's awesome!
Thanks! I’ll have to checks that out. This video is already some months old.
I spent a month learning the ArchLinux installation process and building my own way.
But they have become almost meaningless...

Glad I could help!
thank you sir for this tutorial and also to MatMoul for creating the script, just installed the latest ISO using this.
Thanks! Actually much more credit to him!
I haven’t tried that yet on the new kernel.
Hi Ermanno! Quick question, on 4:31 where you format boot dev, what do I choose if my system is BIOS and not EFI? Can I choose ext4?
Yes.
@@eflinux Grazie!
Thank you so much. Finally I installed arch by myself!!!! 🖤🖤🖤

Hey thanks for the feedback! Let me.know how you like Arch! Cheers:)
EF - Tech Made Simple I’m in a little bit of a pickle. How do I get a settings app? I’m new so sorry...
No worries! If you installed GNOME or KDE you should the settings under the programs menu :)

Would like to see how to setup xorg with a hybrid video (amdgpu+nvidia). Can't get it to work with Lenovo Legion 5, in Mankato everything runs nice.
Great video. I watched Arch installation on BIOS first and loved it. Have you ever looked at ArcoLinux? You might find it interesting. Keep it up, your content is awesome 🥂
Thanks! Yes, I tried it and loved it. I will make video of Arco in the future.

Excuse my ignorance, but I can't finish understanding the function of fuse packages, can someone clarify for me? Thank you
great video as usual but for some reason my Dell XPS 15 9560 shuts down @ 09:20 - running nvme - any suggestions?
Can’t say for sure, but sounds like a driver issue, graphics possibly. Try to boot with nomodeset as kernel parameter and see how it works.
@@eflinux thanks for responding - not sure how to do that -show me the way pls
When you see grub type “e”. On the linux line add nomodeset after the “quiet” word. Then type ctrl+x to boot.
@@eflinux I don't get a grub the system shuts down @ 09:20 during the Install. Just tried Arco and it installed no issues 🤔 but shutdown with Archfi
It surely has to do with some drivers. You could try the manual install and see if it happens.
although i feel embarrassed for inability to install arch manually with 4x 2h attempts, i still am thankful for this video lol
Never give up! And let me know where I can help!
@@eflinux nah. installation worked. and arch is working flawlessly. but i have developed addiction for configurating os and endlessly reading the arch wiki. is this normal? halp
That's gooood! :)
Can this be done using a dual boot already in existence? Ie, can the existing EFI (boot partition) not be reformatted?? Using the script.
It should be, if it is correctly formatted and mounted.
@@eflinux I will find out whenever I get around to installing using the script and thanks! Very prompt you are.
Hi everyone! on 16:21, how do you select all at the same time? instead of choosing one at a time with the spacebar?
how do I select stuff?
Move with the arrows, select with the spacebar.
@@eflinux thank you
No problem!
perfect ty so much
You're welcome!
with me it's occuring the following error when I go "sh archfi":
archfi: 29: archfi: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "}").
I don't know how to fix it, if you can help me, thanks!
I wish the Archify script still works. I prefer it to what is built into Arch now
How are you selecting all the options in the TUI dialog? Is there a keybinding for that?
Hi Jonathan, you move with arrows keys, select with the space bar, and use return to enter the selection.
@@eflinux Ah, I thought you used a shortcut to "select all" -- it must have been a cut in the video :D. Thanks for the quick reply!
Yes, sorry about that, sometimes I have to speed it up or cut it otherwise it gets too long :)
@@eflinux No worries. Thanks, it's a great walkthrough!
Thanks!
I have problems installing Arch on my laptop because the hard drive - an eMMC - is not recognized by the installer. Does someone has any idea? Thank you very much!
Goto ur bios and deselect safe boot
Why you didn't do a neofetch! :(
Sorry, it was still a old video. In the new ones I use that much more often.
Thank you ❤️😊
You’re welcome 😊
I am getting an error zsh: command not found: wget
please help
You need to install wget first with sudo pacman -S wget

Make a video- How to install Аrch Linux, from live_sd Manjaro Linux. This installation is also interesting!
Hi! Do you mean Manjaro architect?
why it says "curl : (56) Recv failure : Connection reset by peer
Probably temporary.
after installing GNOME ... terminal is not starting what to do?
That usually happens when language is not correctly configured. Look in the settings of English is set correctly.
@@eflinux English is not set when i check the settings its blank and I'm not getting any language to pick from drop down menu even though i clearly selected English while installing
Re check the locale.conf file if English is set correctly and then try to run again locale-gen.

Why don't you zoom your screen a bit so it's easier to see.
When i install it my hard disk dont detection and dont work xd
Hi, make sure your disk works in AHCI mode. The setting should be in the BIOS.
There is an other arch installer: Calam-Arch maybe you can give it a shot :-)
Hey thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely have a look at it :)
yes..!!
the best pure arch intaller i've try and successfully..

wont let me install grub
Any error?

Great! What was it? Can you share it? Maybe it can help someone else :)
