Installing arch Linux with archfi.

You want to install arch without having to do a manual install or use an alternative arch based distro. This is were archfi comes in. Archfi is a simple “bash script wizard” or “tui” that can help with installing arch. To use archfi simply boot to the arch installer, then download & launch archfi. It’s that simple.

1. Boot to the arch installer & check that you have an active connection to the internet..

ping duckduckgo.com

Ethernet is recommended, but there’s many tutorials online for setting up wifi if you can’t access ethernet.

2. Download archfi using either github or sourceforge..

Archfi github.

curl -LO matmoul.github.io/archfi

Archfi sourceforge.

curl -LO archfi.sf.net/archfi

Personally I’ve had more luck using github over sourceforge.

3. Launch archfi..

sh archfi

4. Follow through the installation until completion..

5. Reboot into your new arch install..

Archfi is great & I like it a lot. It’s now my go-to for installing arch & if you’ve yet to try it, I totally recommend doing so. Here’s a list of a few popular arch based distros that come with an installer..
