# archinstall
This repository is intended to provide an installation script for Arch Linux so
that it can be used during the installation process.
Note: There are many Arch Install scripts out there but I wanted to create my
own for an educational purpose. So it's mainly a personal repository, but if
you like the script or want to contribute, you're welcome to use it.
## Usage
1. Download the Arch Linux .iso file (maybe [here](http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/archlinux/iso/latest/)) and verify it.
2. Write the .iso file to an USB stick (maybe with this [tool](https://www.balena.io/etcher/)) and boot the machine from this USB stick (you could also boot a virtual machine with this .iso file).
3. Change your keyboard layout, if needed (mind the section below).
4. Download the script with 'wget https://cgit.xengineering.eu/archinstall/plain/archinstall.sh'.
5. Edit the 'Settings' section with 'nano archinstall.sh', save (CTRL + o) and leave (CTRL + x) the nano editor.
6. Run the script with 'bash archinstall.sh'.
### Change your Keyboard Layout
#### German Keyboard Layout
Execute 'loadkeys de-latin1' after booting to live environment, if you want to
set a german keyboard layout. You have to type 'z' for 'y' in loadkeys and 'ß'
for the '-' sign.
