Arch Linux Install Helper (EFI)

TL;DR:

Just run: bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helmesjo/arch-install/main/install.sh)

Note that this executes my personal dotfiles/setup.sh script as part of the customization hook. When prompted you'd enter your own.

Customization hook

In the pre-step, one can supply a url to a git repository of choice that contains a setup.sh script at root level. During installation this script will be exected, and any custom setup can be done.

The script will be executed as the specified user with NOPASS, so sudo can be run without having to halt the installation with a password prompt. See example script here.

Connect to WiFi during install

If you use WiFi and the script fails to download, and likewise ping archlinux.org fails, you need to first manually connect it to a network.

Run the following commands:

1. iwctl - Start iNet wireless daemon.
2. device list - List devices.
3. station <device> scan - Enter scanning mode.
4. station <device> get-networks - List available networks.
5. station <device> connect <network name> - Connect to network.
   • station <device> show - Show status of connection.
