Installation of Arch Linux (refer to official documentation, desktop installation is not done well later)

Start the installation system first (I'm using a VMware virtual machine)

1. Setting the keyboard layout

#loadkeys "Us"  #设置为美国的键盘布局, you can usually

2. Create a partition of the hard disk

I am using FDISK to partition the disk, the main partition only three,/,/boot,swap partition, just swap partition and the other two is different, is to press T to modify its format to swap format.

Fdisk usage starts Fdisk as root (Disk-device like/DEV/SDA): # fdisk Disk-device if it's a brand new disk or you want to repartition, use the O command to create a new empty DOS partition table. Use the n command to create a new partition (primary partition/First partition). Use the +XG format to specify a partition size of x GB. For example, if you need to create a section of the GiB, you need to enter +15g. Use the T command to modify the partition's ID from the default value to Linux (Type 83). This is an optional step. This is also possible if the user wants to create other types of partitions, such as SWAP,NTFS,LVM. Note that a complete list of available partition types can be obtained through the L command. Other partitions are handled in a similar manner. Use the W command to write the partition table to disk and exit. Formats the new partition as a file system.

3. Document Creation

Use the command to create a EXT4 file system: Warning: After a new file system is created, the data previously stored in that partition is lost and is usually not retrieved. Make a backup of the data you want to keep. # mkfs.ext4/dev/partition In addition, you can use MKFS. This is the uniform entrance to the Mkfs.fstype tool. # mkfs-t Ext4/dev/partition

4. Mount Partitions

To check the identifier and layout of the current disk: # LSBLK/DEV/SDA first mount the root partition to/mnt.# mount/dev/sda1/mnt# ls/mnt The format should be one lost+found then mount the/home partition and the remaining separate partitions (/boot ,/Var, etc.). Then create the home directory in/mnt and mount the partition: # Mkswap/dev/sdax && Swapon/dev/sdax # #分区格式化为swap, and create the Swap partition # mount/dev/sdax/mnt # #挂 Load/partition on/MNT

5. Select Mirror

Using the Nano command to edit the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, select the image you want to select, I am here to use the default, can be used in the domestic source relatively fast.

6. Start the installation system

Install the base software group using Pacstrap. # PACSTRAP/MNT Base

You can also use

# pacstrap/mnt Base Base-devel #安装了基础的开发包

7. Configuring the System

Generate the Fstab file with the following command (set UUID or label with-u or-l option): # genfstab-p/mnt >>/mnt/etc/fstab

#cat/mnt/etc/fstab #查看系统的fstab

Switch the system to the latest system

# arch-chroot/mnt

Set host name

# echo computer_name >/etc/hostname

Setting the time zone

# Ln-sf/usr/share/zoneinfo/zone/subzone/etc/localtime

Example (set to Shanghai, you can also set to other):

# ln-s/usr/share/zoneinfo/asia/shanghai/etc/localtime

Configuring the language of the system

Edit/etc/locale.gen, all the contents of this file are commented, and the corresponding comments are canceled according to the language you need.

# Nano/etc/locale.gen   

If you enable Chinese, you can configure the following

en_US. UTF-8 UTF-8EN_GB. UTF-8 UTF-8ZH_CN. GB18030 GB18030ZH_CN. GBK GBKZH_CN. UTF-8 UTF-8ZH_CN GB2312

If only open English, as long as the en_US. UTF-8 UTF-8 can

And then execute

# Locale-gen       #生成正确的locale信息

Set the system locale preference in/etc/locale.conf; single user set $home/.config/locale.conf:

# echo Lang=your_locale >/etc/locale.conf

Example:

Configure the Network

Systemctl Enable Dhcpcd.service

Set Password

passwd

Input

#  Exit   #退出chroot

To cancel a partition mount cancel mount

# Umount-r/mnt

Rebooting the system

# reboot

8. Installing the Boot program

The BIOS system consists of three options-Syslinux, GRUB, and LILO. Choose a guide according to your preferences
I chose Grub.

# pacman-s grub-bios# grub-install--target=i386-pc--recheck/dev/sda# grub-mkconfig-o/boot/grub/grub.cfg

9. Install the desktop environment

Pacman-s LXDE
