Install Arch
How To Install Arch Linux Latest Version. I have no issues in Virtualbox at all. You forgot to add command to install package “dialog” after install base. To install a third-party software package in Arch Linux access the AUR package repository page and search for the package you need to install. In our case, We are going to install Google Chrome in our Arch Linux system. Installing VirtualBox on Arch Linux. It’s easy to install VirtualBox on Arch Linux, just issue the following command on the terminal, and boom!, VirtualBox is installed.
Install Archlinux on VirtualBox
Booting from the Arch linux iso
Once you have configured your environment for VirtualBox, you simply need to click start to initiate the boot process. However, make sure you have an active network connection as this will be needed throughout the installation process.
After clicking start, you will be asked for the location of your installation image unless you specified this earlier on the storage tab.
Select Location of start up disk (iso image)
Click the small folder icon and navigate to the location of your installation media (iso image). Once selected, click on the 'Start' button.
Arch Linux Initial Boot Screen
Initially the following screen is displayed. Here you can make several choices. You can select to boot a 64bit version of the iso by selecting 'Boot Arch Linux (x86_64) or choose the 32bit version by selecting 'Boot Arch Linux (i686). Please note, a 32bit version will work on a 64bit system, however a 64bit version will not work on a 32bit system.
In this installation, I am using the 64bit version.
In this installation, I am using the 64bit version.
Arch Linux Initial root shell
After selecting the 64bit option, the system will load and you will be presented with a root shell where you will type in your commands.
At this point it is always a good idea to check your disk and internet connection. You can issue the command lsblk to display your disk allocation (list block device command). To check that you have been allocated an IP address issue the command ip a s. If all is ok you should see your disk allocation and have an IP addressed assigned.
Partitioning your Disk
At this point we need to partition our disks ready for our installation. For this example I am using a 20GB disk. I will be allocating 10GB of space to the root partition, 1GB of space for swap and the remaining disk will go to my home partition.
10GB - root Partition1GB - Swap PartitionRemainder of space allocated to home
To carry out the partitioning, there are many tools available. I have chosen to use 'fdisk for this purpose. I have chosen fdisk as it is available on most Linux distributions and is very simple to use.
Using fdisk for partitioning
To start using the 'fdisk' partitioning tool, we need to specify which disk we are going to be using (working with). As we saw from the previously entered 'lsblk' command, our 20GB disk can be identified by the label 'sda'. Therefore the command we are going to enter to initiate the partitioning tool will be:
fdisk /dev/sda
To view all the commands available to 'fdisk' you can type the letter 'm'.

Create root partition with fdisk
The following commands were issued to create our first (root) partition:
n - Creates a new partition
p - Selected a Primary Partition
Enter - To accept default starting sector.
+10G - Specify a size of 10GB
t - Select Partition Type
1 - Specify we are working with Partition number 1
83 - 83 was selected as this is used for a standard Linux partition (default is 83)
Note: Although we didn't need to specify a partition type of '83', it always good practice to specify a partition type. A full list of the available codes can be seen be issuing the command 'L'.
n - Creates a new partition
p - Selected a Primary Partition
Enter - To accept default starting sector.

The following commands were issued to create our home partition:
n - Creates a new partition
p - Selected a Primary Partition
3 - Selected Partition Number 3
Enter - To accept default starting sector.
Enter - To accept default end sector. (Uses all remaining space)
t - Select Partition Type
3 - Specify we are working with Partition number 3
83 - 83 was selected as this is used for a standard Linux partition (default is 83)
n - Creates a new partition
p - Selected a Primary Partition

Enter - To accept default starting sector.
Enter - To accept default end sector. (Uses all remaining space)
t - Select Partition Type
3 - Specify we are working with Partition number 3
83 - 83 was selected as this is used for a standard Linux partition (default is 83)
View Partition Layout
To view our proposed layout, we can issue the command p:
Now we should see our three partitions that we have defined. Note, although we have defined our partitions, they will not be written to disk until we issue the 'w' command to write our entries.
Write our proposed partition layout
To write our proposed changes, we issue the 'w' command:
Create Filesystems and Format Partitions
The next step of the installation involves the creation/formatting of our partitions. For this part of the installation, we will be using the 'mkfs' command to create our file systems and the 'mkswap' command to create our swap space.
First work with our standard Linux partitions: /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. The sda part of the name corresponds to our disk. The number signifies the partition numbers we created earlier.
Commands Issued:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3
We are going to use a filesystem type of 'ext4'. This is a popular choice as it incorporates journalling.

We are going to use a filesystem type of 'ext4'. This is a popular choice as it incorporates journalling.
Command Issued:
mkswap /dev/sda2
swapon /dev/sda2
The swapon command is used to activate the swap space.
mkswap /dev/sda2
swapon /dev/sda2
The swapon command is used to activate the swap space.
lsblk - Use this command to verify
The 'lsblk' command can be used to show our current layout:
Here we can see our partitions and the space that has been allocated. Before we can use this space, we need to mount our filesystems first.
Mounting Filesystems
The next step before the installation is initiated is to mount our filesystems. The commands used are as follows:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt Our root filesystem is mounted on mount point '/mnt'
mkdir /mnt/home A mount point is created for the home filesystem.
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/home Our home file system is mounted on '/mnt/home'
Note: There is no need to worry about our swap partition, this was initialized earlier.
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt Our root filesystem is mounted on mount point '/mnt'
mkdir /mnt/home A mount point is created for the home filesystem.
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/home Our home file system is mounted on '/mnt/home'
Note: There is no need to worry about our swap partition, this was initialized earlier.
Choose the closest location for downloads
At this point we are going to modify a file called: /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
You can either manually edit this file leaving the closest locations present or you can install a package called 'reflector'. Reflector is a special script that can retrieve the latest mirror list from the MirrorStatus page, filter the most up-to date mirrors, sort them by speed and overwrite the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. Before we install and run reflector, it is a good idea to make a copy of the original file. To create a copy, we can issue the following command:
cp -vf /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup
When run, this command will make a copy of the original file and call it 'mirrorlist.backup'.

cp -vf /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup
When run, this command will make a copy of the original file and call it 'mirrorlist.backup'.
Install Reflector
To install reflector, we simply issue the following commands using the 'pacman' package manager:
pacman -Syy
pacman -Syy
pacman -S reflector
After issuing the above command, you need to reply 'Y' to confirm the installation of reflector.
Using reflector
Once we have installed 'reflector', we can now issue the following command to sort the five best mirrors for your location:
Command Issued: reflector --verbose -l 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Command Issued: reflector --verbose -l 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
The above command will now have generated a new mirrorlist file. This can be seen in the image below:
After making any changes to a mirrorlist, it is always advisable to re-issue the sync command: pacman -Syy
Installing the Base
The base installation is installed using a special script called 'pacstrap'. We will be installing the base group and also the base-devel group. The 'based-devel' group is included as it contains some packages you may need at a later stage.
Command to be issued:
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
Once you have issued these commands, the necessary packages will be downloaded. This may take several minutes depending on your connection speed and your proximity to the remote server (mirror).
Command to be issued:
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
Once you have issued these commands, the necessary packages will be downloaded. This may take several minutes depending on your connection speed and your proximity to the remote server (mirror).
Create /etc/fstab - mount table
This next step of the installation will create a mount table (/etc/fstab). The mount table is responsible for which filesystems get mounted automatically at boot time. Backup options may also be specified here. The creation of this file is easy as all that is required is for the following command to be run:
Command Issued: genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
Command Issued: genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
We can verify that the correct entries have been created by issuing the following command: cat /mnt/etc/fstab
You can also issue the 'blkid' command against your partitions to verify this information. (blkid /dev/sdx) where x is is the partition number.
You can also issue the 'blkid' command against your partitions to verify this information. (blkid /dev/sdx) where x is is the partition number.
Chroot - Configuring the Base System
To start configuring our new installation we need to issue the 'arch-chroot' command. The command is run as follows: arch-root followed by the new root directory as the first argument. The command that we will issue is:
arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
You can pass an optional argument to specify a particular shell. In this case we are using a bash shell. If this is omitted, then the default 'sh' is used.
arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
You can pass an optional argument to specify a particular shell. In this case we are using a bash shell. If this is omitted, then the default 'sh' is used.
Configuring locale settings
At this point in the installation, we must configure the locale settings. These settings are used for the system language. A file is provided that contains these settings, however, all the entries are commented out.
The file is located in the following path: /etc/locale.gen
Using the editor of your choice, open the file and un-comment the locale setting that matches your language. In this example I am going to use the setting en_GB.UTF-8. To use this setting I simply remove the hash '#' from the beginning of the line.
Once you have made your selection, you will need to run the following command:
locale-gen
The file is located in the following path: /etc/locale.gen
Using the editor of your choice, open the file and un-comment the locale setting that matches your language. In this example I am going to use the setting en_GB.UTF-8. To use this setting I simply remove the hash '#' from the beginning of the line.
Once you have made your selection, you will need to run the following command:
locale-gen
Next we need to run the following command to create the /etc/locale.conf file. You will need to substitute your language setting:
Commands Issued:
echo LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf
export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
Commands Issued:
echo LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf
export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
Next create the following file: /etc/vconsole.conf
Add the following line: KEYMAP=uk
You will need to amend this setting to match your country. If no setting is added, then the default 'us' is used.
Add the following line: KEYMAP=uk
You will need to amend this setting to match your country. If no setting is added, then the default 'us' is used.
Configuring the Time Zone
To configure your Time Zone you need to create a link to a file called /etc/localtime
First take a look at the available zone information by issuing the following command:
ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/
First take a look at the available zone information by issuing the following command:
ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/
Now we can check the contents of a directory belonging to a subzone:
ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe
ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe
Once you have decided on the zone that matches your requirements, you need to create a link. This can be done with the following command (amend accordingly):
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime
The above example shows that the Zone of Europe has been selected with a subzone of London.
syntax: ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Zone/SubZone /etc/localtime
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime
The above example shows that the Zone of Europe has been selected with a subzone of London.
syntax: ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Zone/SubZone /etc/localtime
Set Hardware Clock
Next we need to set the hardware clock. In this example, I have specified UTC as my setting.
Command Issued:
hwclock --systohc --utc
Command Issued:
hwclock --systohc --utc
Set the Host Name of our System
Every computer on a network should have a unique hostname that can easily identify the system. To give our new system a hostname we can simply issue the following command:
echo myhostname > /etc/hostname
Amend the myhostname to a name of your choice. In this example I have issued the command: echo arch01 > /etc/hostname
Now we need to add the same hostname into our hosts file. The host file can be found in the following path: /etc/hosts
In the example below I have added arch01 as my entry. Once you have added your name, simply save your changes.
echo myhostname > /etc/hostname
Amend the myhostname to a name of your choice. In this example I have issued the command: echo arch01 > /etc/hostname
Now we need to add the same hostname into our hosts file. The host file can be found in the following path: /etc/hosts
In the example below I have added arch01 as my entry. Once you have added your name, simply save your changes.
Enable Multilib Repository
The multilib repository repository allows a user to run and build 32bit applications on a 64bit installation of Arch Linux. To add the multilib repository we simply add the following lines to the bottom of the file: /etc/pacman.conf
[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Once the lines have been added, we need to run the sync package command:
pacman -Syy
[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Once the lines have been added, we need to run the sync package command:
pacman -Syy
Adding support for Yaourt Package Tool
To activate the Yaourt Package tool (for downloading and building AUR packages) add the following lines to the file: /etc/pacman.conf
[archlinuxfr]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch
Once the lines have been added, we need to run the sync package command:
pacman -Syy
[archlinuxfr]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch
Once the lines have been added, we need to run the sync package command:
pacman -Syy
Synchronise and Update Database Packages
At this part of the installation, I would recommend running the update system command:
pacman -Syu
Any new updates found will prompt you for installation. Simply reply to the confirmation with a 'Y'
pacman -Syu
Any new updates found will prompt you for installation. Simply reply to the confirmation with a 'Y'
Create a password for the root account
Currently we have no password for the root account. To assign a password to the root account we need to issue the command: passwd
Adding a new user with sudo privileges
To add a new user we issue the command useradd along with a list of primary and secondary groups. The important group here is the wheel. Members of this group will be able to issue commands prefixed with sudo. This will allow the user to run a command as the root user. In the example below we have also specified the default shell to be '/bin/bash'.
Command Issued:
useradd -mg users -G wheel,storage,power -s /bin/bash your_new_user
Simply change the 'your_new_user' to that of the named account you wish to create.
Once you have issued this command, you will also need to assign a password to that account with the passwd command.
Command Issued:
useradd -mg users -G wheel,storage,power -s /bin/bash your_new_user
Simply change the 'your_new_user' to that of the named account you wish to create.
Once you have issued this command, you will also need to assign a password to that account with the passwd command.
Installing sudo Package
Sudo is a useful package that when installed allows specified user to prefix a command with 'sudo and run a command with escalated privileges. To install the sudo package we have to issue the following command: pacman -S sudo
Command Issued:
pacman -S sudo
Command Issued:
pacman -S sudo
Configuring a sudo - adding user to wheel group
Before a user can issue commands as the root user, we need to configure the sudo configuration file. To edit this file a special command called visudo is used.
After issuing the 'visudo' command, you will need to uncomment the following line:
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
Once this is done, simply save your changes.
After issuing the 'visudo' command, you will need to uncomment the following line:
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
Once this is done, simply save your changes.
Installing a Bootloader
The following commands will enable us to install a bootloader on the first system hard disk (/dev/sda). Commands Issued:
pacman -S grub
grub-install /dev/sda
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Note: If you had a multi OS environment, you could install the 'os-prober' package with 'pacman -S os-prober' before running the 'grub-mkconfig' command. Os-prober will detect other operating systems when generating the grub.cfg file.
pacman -S grub
grub-install /dev/sda
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Note: If you had a multi OS environment, you could install the 'os-prober' package with 'pacman -S os-prober' before running the 'grub-mkconfig' command. Os-prober will detect other operating systems when generating the grub.cfg file.
Install Deb Package On Arch Linux Virtualbox Download
Congratulations - Arch Linux is now installed
The next step is to exit out of the 'chroot' environment and unmount our filesystems before a reboot.
Commands Issued:
exit
umount /mnt/home
umount /mnt
reboot
Commands Issued:
exit
umount /mnt/home
umount /mnt
reboot
Boot from Existing OS
At the startup screen choose the option to 'Boot existing OS'.
After making your selection, the traditional 'Grub' bootloader menu will be displayed. You can press 'Enter' to continue immediately, or wait for around for 3 seconds for the system to automatically boot.
Once the system has booted, you will be taken to a login screen. You will notice that the hostname you specified earlier has now been picked up.
Once the system has booted, you will be taken to a login screen. You will notice that the hostname you specified earlier has now been picked up.
Login Screen
From this login screen, you can login with the 'sudo' user you created in an earlier step.
Configuring the Network
After the reboot, you will have lost your network connectivity. To rectify this we need to create a new definition for our interface. To identify the name of the interface we can issue the command 'ip link
From the above output we can see that the our interface has a name of 'enp0s3'.Next issue the command: 'sudo vi /etc/systemd/network/enp0s3.network'. This will create an empty file with the name of our network interface. Once the empty file has been created and opened, you will need to add the following lines of information:
[Match]
Name=en*
[Network]
DHCP=yes
You will need to amend the network name to match that of your network interface. In this example we are also using DHCP to obtain our IP address.
Once the above lines have been added and you have saved your changes, the following commands need to be issued to active the network.
sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd
sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd
[Match]
Name=en*
[Network]
DHCP=yes
You will need to amend the network name to match that of your network interface. In this example we are also using DHCP to obtain our IP address.
Once the above lines have been added and you have saved your changes, the following commands need to be issued to active the network.
sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd
sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd
Hopefully we now have network connectivity. However, before we can connect to the internet, we need to add a nameserver to the 'etc/resolv.conf' file. To edit the file we issue the following command:
Command Issued:
sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf
Once the file is opened, we are going to add the 2 name server entries. In this example, I am using Google's free public DNS servers.
Amend the file so that it resembles the entry below:
#
# /etc/resolv.conf
#
#nameserver ip
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
Once you have saved your changes, we can now test our network connectivity:
Commands Issued:
ip a s
ping -c 3 www.google.com
You should now see that we have been assigned an IP address and that we can 'ping' google.com
Command Issued:
sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf
Once the file is opened, we are going to add the 2 name server entries. In this example, I am using Google's free public DNS servers.
Amend the file so that it resembles the entry below:
#
# /etc/resolv.conf
#
#nameserver ip
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
Once you have saved your changes, we can now test our network connectivity:
Commands Issued:
ip a s
ping -c 3 www.google.com
You should now see that we have been assigned an IP address and that we can 'ping' google.com
