I use MacOS so first need to find my flash drive
diskutil list# comment
Okay great, our flash drive happens to be /dev/disk2
Well dd works great so we will use that and /dev/wdisk2 worked super fast for me.
dd bs=4M if=path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/wdisk2# bs = batch size# if = input file# of = output file (/dev/disk is a file)
I’ve only got 1 WiFi card, so let's scan the hardware for WiFi.
Turn the hardware on
ip link set wlan0 up
After install this became wlp5s0
Check it can scan iwlist wlan0 scan
Connect to my wifi wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c <(wpa_passphrase cjwifi thisismypassword)
basically wpa_supplicant will help connect to wifi with wpa2 passphrase which is probably most routers default. I just played around until it worked. Yay technology!
wpa_passphrase generates text that you are gonna shove into wpa_supplicant to connect to your wifi
-B - Fork into background.
-c filename - Path to configuration file.
-i interface - Interface to listen on.
needed to run dhcpcd wlan0
to get DHCP on the wlan interface
ping worked!
Well I need wifi at boot. Sym link ln -s /usr/share/dhcpcd/hooks/10-wpa_supplicant /usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/
Create config for wpa_supplicant to read on boot wpa_passphrase cjwifi thisismypassword > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Create partitions. The wiki is confusing but ok. Took too long Want it to look like /dev/sda1 260M EFI System (1) /dev/sda2 32G Linux filesystem (default) /dev/sda3 4G Linux swap (19) /dev/sda4 430G Linux filesystem (default) basically: fdisk g - create for gpt n - new partition - paritition 1 - default start sector +260M - 260MB in size t - change partition type 1 - EFI n +32G n +4G n t 1 1 t 3 19
Now format those motherfuckers! mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1 mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2 mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda4
Swap mkswap /dev/sda3 swapon /dev/sda3
Mount them respectively mount /dev/sda2 /mnt mkdir /mnt/efi
get off the usb bro cmon arch-chroot /mnt
pacstrap me bro pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware vim openssh dhcpcd wpa_supplicant
install grub
hostname
timezone….
Booted: TIPS for services!:
enable dchp systemctl start dhcpcd
on boot start dchp systemctl enable dhcpcd
do the same for ssh so i can stop doing everything on the terminal
enable dchp systemctl start sshd
on boot start dchp systemctl enable sshd
install fish shell
