The following is a brief installation tutorial for [Arch Linux][1]. It assumes
familiarity with the Arch [Beginner's Guide][2] and [Installation Guide][3].
2019-04-16 13:38:08 +00:00
It will provide a system using [LVM on LUKS][4].
2019-04-16 11:43:21 +00:00
Note that this guide assumes you are performing the install to `/dev/sda`. In
some cases, you may find that your USB install disk claimed `/dev/sda` and you
want to install to `/dev/sdb`. Confirm which disk is which before proceeding.
Boot into the Arch installer.
If your console font is tiny ([HiDPI][7] systems), set a new font.
$ setfont sun12x22
Connect to the Internet.
Verify that the [system clock is up to date][8].
$ timedatectl set-ntp true
(UEFI mode) Create partitions for EFI, boot, and root.
$ parted -s /dev/sda mklabel gpt
$ parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary fat32 1MiB 513MiB
$ parted -s /dev/sda set 1 boot on
$ parted -s /dev/sda set 1 esp on
$ parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary 513MiB 1024MiB
$ parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary 1024MiB 100%
2019-04-16 13:38:08 +00:00
$ mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
$ mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1
2019-04-16 11:43:21 +00:00
Create and mount the encrypted root filesystem. Note that for UEFI systems
this will be partition 3.
2019-04-16 13:38:08 +00:00
$ pvcreate /dev/sda3pc
2019-04-16 11:43:21 +00:00
$ vgcreate arch /dev/mapper/lvm
2019-04-16 13:38:08 +00:00
$ lvcreate -L 4G arch -n swap
2019-04-16 11:43:21 +00:00
$ lvcreate -L 30G arch -n root
$ lvcreate -l +100%FREE arch -n home
$ lvdisplay
$ mkswap -L swap /dev/mapper/arch-swap
$ mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/arch-root
$ mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/arch-home
$ mount /dev/mapper/arch-root /mnt
$ mkdir /mnt/home
$ mount /dev/mapper/arch-home /mnt/home
$ swapon /dev/mapper/arch-swap
(UEFI mode) Encrypt the boot partition using a separate passphrase from
the root partition, then mount the boot and EFI partitions.
$ mkdir /mnt/boot
2019-04-16 13:38:08 +00:00
$ mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot
2019-04-16 11:43:21 +00:00
$ mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
$ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
Optionally [edit the mirror list][9].
$ vi /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Install the [base system][10].
2019-04-16 13:52:08 +00:00
$ pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel net-tools wireless_tools dialog wpa_supplicant openssh git grub ansible
2019-04-16 11:43:21 +00:00
(UEFI mode) $ pacstrap /mnt efibootmgr
Generate and verify [fstab][11].
$ genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
$ less /mnt/etc/fstab
Change root into the base install and perform [base configuration tasks][12].
$ arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
$ systemctl enable dhcpcd.service
2019-04-16 13:52:08 +00:00
$ systemctl enable sshd.service
2019-04-16 11:43:21 +00:00
$ passwd
2019-04-16 13:38:08 +00:00
Set your mkinitcpio.
$ sed -i 's/^HOOKS=.*/HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard lvm2 resume filesystems fsck"/' /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
2019-04-16 11:43:21 +00:00
$ mkinitcpio -p linux
Configure GRUB.
