Usage 🚀

1. Download the latest version of the live ISO from here and boot into it.

   • If you're installing on bare metal, you'll need to burn the ISO to a USB flash drive. A great tool for this is Etcher. It is free and open source software.

2. (Optional) Setup WiFi.

   • If you need to connect to WiFi for network connectivity, follow the instructions here.

3. Confirm internet connectivity.

   ping -c 4 archlinux.org

4. (Optional) Set the root user password to allow SSH access. This is not required but recommended to allow copy/paste functionality.

   1. Get the IP address of the machine.

      ip a

   2. Set the root user password.

      passwd root

   3. From a remote machine SSH into the environment.

      ssh root@<ip>

5. Run the following command:

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damienbutt/arch-base/HEAD/scripts/install-arch-base.sh)"

6. Follow prompts until the setup is complete.
