1. Installing the ArchLinux system

Install arch mainly look at its wiki, more detailed ~ Chinese my main reference: Step by step to teach you how to install arch Linux, the detailed process is forgotten, the general operation is as follows:

I installed it in VirtualBox, so just download iOS and don't have to make a USB flash drive ~

• 1) boot from iOS;
• 2) disk partition, refer to "#1-disk Partition";
• 3) Create file system, refer to "#1-Create File System";
• 4) installation, refer to "#1-Installation";
• 5) configuration system, refer to "#1-configuration System";
• 6) Set time zone, refer to "#1-set time zone";
• 7) Set up the area, refer to "#1-set the area";
• 8) Install bootloader, set hostname and root password, refer to "#1";
• 9) Install the desktop, refer to "#1-Install the desktop";

For beginners, I prefer to look at the wiki carefully, while combining the above article try ~ If you use Ubuntu to try to install the Raspberry Pi, you will find almost ~

Note: The new system ping Baidu error, found the need to configure the network: Ping temporary failure in name resolution, the solution is to archlinux Install Graphics tutorial 11th section Configuration network;

Note: with the above method sometimes there will be the source does not install the failure of the situation, I from the ArchLinux installation graphics tutorial found the need to replace the Chinese source, and then install, update the source of the method see: "For the ArchLinux Select the domestic mirror", China's source speed is very fast 2m/s, Not 10 minutes is OK;

Note: after installing the command line version, restart the system, also to modify the source! Otherwise the installation of x is not good!

更新源也需要wget:可调用pacman -S wget的时候报错：error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)” 错误pacman 在更新软件包数据库前，比如安装软件包时会创建一个文件锁 /var/lib/pacman/db.lck。该文件会阻止其他 pacman 实例在同一时间修改软件包数据库。如果 pacman 在更新数据库时收到干扰，旧锁会一直存在。如果确认 pacman没有在运行，那么删掉文件锁：# rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck69934729

2. Install I3 Desktop

With arch, of course, with i3!. The steps are as follows:

• 1) Install the I3 window Manager:

    pacman -S i3

• 2) Install LIGHTDM display Manager:

    pacman -S lightdm-gtk-greeter

• 3) Then:

    systemctl enable lightdm  systemctl start lightdm

• 4) after landing into i3, the configuration wizard will be loaded automatically, basically next.

i3 after installation is ugly, the basic operation is on its official website: https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html
I3 's beautification can refer to this one: https://keyin.me/posts/beautifull-i3/

Take a look at the final results (although the optimization 10%, concise and cool already can feel)
