How To Install Arch Linux 2021 | Arch Linux Full Installation | Arch Linux Installation Guide 2021


In this video, we walk through all the steps required to get a fully functional Arch Linux system installed

Complete guide to Arch Linux installation in 2021.  Arch Linux will be installed in the BIOS mode with MBR partition table and minimal XFCE desktop.

Arch Linux is an awesome distribution that gives you full control of your installation, and the configuration possibilities are endless. The initial installation can be a challenge for some. With this video as your guide you'll have a finished, bootable install that's ready to be configured just as you like it.

So Follow Step By Step Guide:

Note: Use iwctl to Connect to Wi-Fi

iwctl

station wlan0 scan

station wlan0 connect YourWiFiName

Then Hit Enter and Type Your Password and Connect to Wi-Fi.

Step-1:

Create a Bootable Arch Pendrive

You can use Rufus(on Windows) or etcher(on Linux) to Create Bootable Pendrive.

Or Use dd command to create Bootable Pendrive type following Command


dd if=path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress

Replace X with your Respective Letter.

Then insert the Bootable Pendrive Medium into your PC & Select Pendrive from BIOS & Boot into Arch.

Step-2:

Format Partition (Create New Partition and Format it)

Use fdisk, gdisk or cfdisk to Create Partition.

lsblk

fdisk /dev/sdX

For UEFI:

For UEFI I will create 4 Partition.

Type lsblk to see available disks on computer.

Boot Partition - /dev/sda1 (512 MB)- EFI

Root Partition - /dev/sda2 (50 GB) - ext4

Swap Partition - /dev/sda3 (4 GB) - swap

Home Partition - /dev/sda4 (Rest of The Space) - ext4

Then type lsblk to see all the Partitions.

Now lets Format Partitions

mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2

mkswap /dev/sda3

swapon /dev/sda3

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda4


Now Mount Partitions

Mount Root Partition into /mnt

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

Crate Home Folder Inside mnt to Mount home

mkdir /mnt/home

mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/home

Now Create EFI Directory & Mount Boot Partition

mkdir -p /mnt/boot/EFI

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/EFI


For MBR (BIOS)

For MBR I will Create 4 Partition.

Type lsblk to Verify Correct Disk.

Boot Partition - /dev/sda1 (512 MB)- ext4

Root Partition - /dev/sda2 (50 GB) - ext4

Swap Partition - /dev/sda3 (4 GB) - swap

Home Partition - /dev/sda4 (Rest of The Space) - ext4

The Easiest Way to Create Partition is by using cfdisk.

Now lets Format Partitions

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2

mkswap /dev/sda3

swapon /dev/sda3

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda4

Now Mount Partitions

Mount Root Partition into /mnt

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

Crate Home Folder Inside mnt to Mount home

mkdir /mnt/home

mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/home

Now Create EFI Directory & Mount Boot Partition

mkdir /mnt/boot/

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/

Step -3

Install Base System

Now Install Base Package. To install base package use pacstrap command.

pacstrap /mnt base base-devel linux linux-firmware vim nano git

If you have Older Machine then use linux-lts instead of linux Kernel.

I will use vim as my Text Editor.

base-devel and git Packages to Compiling AUR Packages.

If You Want To Install YAY Then Follow This Tutorial.

Step-4:

Generate fstab

To Generate fstab use Following Command

genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

-U:- UUID Based fstab

To View fstab Use Following Command

cat /mnt/etc/fstab

Step-5:

Change Root to New Partition

arch-chroot /mnt

Step-6:

Set Time,Date and Locale

Set Time:-

timedatectl set-ntp true

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/TypeYour/Zone /etc/localtime

hwclock -systohc

date

Set Locale:-

vim /etc/locale.gen

Uncomment The Line en_US.UTF-8

Save and Exit vim

Create locale.conf File

echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" > /etc/locale.conf

locale-gen

Step-7:

Create Hostname & Edit Host File

echo "YourHostName" > /etc/hostname

Edit Hosts File

vim /etc/hosts

Type following

127.0.0.1    localhost

::1               localhost

127.0.1.1    YourHostName.localdomain    YourHostName

Save and Exit vim

Step-8:

Create Root Password & Add New User

passwd

Add New User

useradd -mG wheel,audio,video,optical,storage UserName

Password for UserName

passwd UserName

Now Give Sudo Access to UserName

EDITOR=vim visudo

Uncomment the Line Consist of

%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

Add Full Name to UserName

usermod -c "Type Your Full Name" UserName

Step-9:

Install Bootloader

For UEFI:- First Install Necessary Packages

pacman -S grub efibootmgr dosfstools mtools ntfs-3g os-prober gvfs gvfs-mtp

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/EFI --bootloader-id=GRUB --removable -recheck

For MBR:- First Install Necessary Packages

pacman -S grub ntfs-3g os-prober gvfs gvfs-mtp

grub-install /dev/sdx --removable --recheck

Step-10:

Generate Grub Config file

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Step-11:

Install Network Manager

pacman -S networkmanager network-manager-applet

systemctl enable NetworkManager

Step -12:

Install Desktop Environment:

I will Install XFCE as My Desktop Environment

To Customize XFCE Follow This Tutorial

pacman -S xorg xorg-server lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings xfce4 xfce4-goodies pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa pavucontrol

systemctl enable lightdm.service

Step-13:

Unmount & Reboot

exit

umount -R /mnt

reboot

Step-14:
