I haven't made a video in awhile due to a major catastrophe in my area and I felt like I needed to do this video. After all, an Arch Linux installation is relaxing and therapeutic. I install Arch inside VirtualBox, so install VirtualBox if you want to follow along.
NOTE: I did this as a UEFI installation. If you want to see this done using MBR, check out the 2019 Arch Linux Installation Guide, but be aware the pacstrap commands have changed since that video (be sure to pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware):
• Arch Linux Installatio... - Arch Linux Installtion Guide 2019
SOME COMMANDS I RAN:
Using fdisk:
fdisk -l (lists out the partitions)
fdisk /dev/sda
In fdisk, "m" for help
In fdisk, "o" for DOS partition or "g" for GPT
In fdisk, "n" for add new partition
In fdisk, "p" for primary partition (if using MBR instead of GPT)
In fdisk, "t" to change partition type
In fdisk, "w" (write table to disk)
Make filesystem:
mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1
mkswap /dev/sda2
swapon /dev/sda2
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3
Base Install:
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt (mounts it to mnt on live image)
pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware
genfstab -U /mnt TWO GREATER THAN SIGNS /mnt/etc/fstab (KZbin doesn't allow angle brackets)
Chroot:
arch-chroot /mnt (change into root directory of our new installation)
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/REGION/CITY /etc/localtime
hwclock --systohc (sets the hardware clock)
pacman -S nano
nano /etc/locale.gen
locale-gen
nano /etc/hostname
nano /etc/hosts
Users and passwords:
passwd (set root pass)
useradd -m username (make another user)
passwd username (set that user's password)
usermod -aG wheel,audio,video,optical,storage username
Sudo:
pacman -S sudo
EDITOR=nano visudo
GRUB:
pacman -S grub
pacman -S efibootmgr dosfstools os-prober mtools (if doing UEFI)
mkdir /boot/EFI (if doing UEFI)
mount /dev/sda1 /boot/EFI #Mount FAT32 EFI partition (if doing UEFI)
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=grub_uefi --recheck (if doing UEFI)
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Networking:
pacman -S networkmanager
systemctl enable NetworkManager
Reboot:
exit the chroot by typing "exit"
umount /mnt (unmounts /mnt)
reboot (or shutdown now if doing this in VirtualbBox)
Remember to detach the ISO in VirtualBox before reboot.

Just a tip, when it comes time to unmount, if it says busy it's because you're trying to unmount a higher-level directory without unmounting a nested lower-level one first. In this case it failed because /dev/sda1 was still mounted at /mnt/boot/EFI so it wasn't able to unmount /dev/sda3 at /mnt. To prevent this, just use the -R flag for recursive umount. Using the force flag can lead to data loss and corruption so it's generally not recommended.

Definitely recommend Arch over Manjaro for new users, as it teaches them more about how the system works, and is also more stable from my experience.

Hey DT, I just want to leave a big THANK YOU for this. Reading the arch installation guide on the wiki made it seem daunting, but watching you go through it, especially with the comments on how to set up a VM to do it, and with your accessible explanations, made me finally work up the courage. It took me a few tries, but I got it to work, and more importantly it taught me that there's other ways to deal with a system crash than holding down the reset button for 30 seconds. Now I'm a few weeks in, and not only did I graduade from a VM to an old laptop of mine, I even got it configured to the point where I can use it comfortably and without hassle. I am absolutely in love with how it looks, and how absolutely amazing it feels to work on a system that was custom built exactly for my needs. Most importantly, I learned SO MUCH while doing this. Not just about linux, but about computers in general. Without you I wouldn't even know what a tiling WM is, let alone have ever dreamt of going anywhere near something like arch. Thank you for your thorough efforts to demystify of all this. It's a fun and exciting journey you sent me on.

It's good to see an updated version of the Arch installation guide; I heard it has changed in the last year. Just finished installing the base system alongside Windows just in case. It surprisingly works with dual boot on UEFI (disregarding Secure Boot), thanks to the manual/wiki. Excellent work, keep it up!

I think i'm finally going to give it a go, so thank you for this video!

it is an advanced DIY distro, when we tell other people that the distro is just "easy to install" it will almost definitely lead noobies to a very very bad impression of linux, arch is a great system, but not for the average joe computer user, it's a geek distro, and that's fine.

Heads up for those with MSI boards, apparently for some MSI bios versions it doesn't recognize the standard grub installation path so it would boot to the bios, bypassing grub completely. Luckily it's a simple fix you have to add --removable so the right command be "grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --removeable --bootloader-id=grub_uefi --recheck". Credit goes to Ryan in the comments of the Open Source Home's tutorial of how to install arch that video is also here on KZbin.

Edit for those who got stuck on the grub install just start over the whole guide. I kept my partitions but re did the steps before and after following this guide. Finally grub install success.

Installed it on Gnome Boxes, I rebooted when you typed "reboot" and said "now it's time to reboot your machine", then when I hit Enter, you said "but don't do this in a VM". Then I had to start all over again. But great tutorial, thanks for the video!

Hey DT, great video! Thank you as always. Can you make a video on a post install of arch? More specifically about installing a wm and configuration of Picom to fix screen tearing (which don't happen on a regular DE) ?

Good video, It's using zsh so you can just double tab on things like that zoneinfo command and it will list all the zones, no need to run a separate command.

For anyone else having problems booting into Arch after the installation! When using grub-install make sure to add the flag --removable in addition to the other flags shown in the video. This fixes the problem with some finicky motherboards.

Thanks a ton! Such a helpful guide and I learned a lot! After Reboot I noticed that my keyboard-layout was back to US QWERTY, though I had selected "de-latin1" (German QWERTZ), but I was able to set it again with the localectl-command. Now installing a Login-Session Manager and a Desktop Environment... :)
