- This post emphises my way of installing Arch Linux. If you think, I - could improve upon something on this post, you can start shouting at - me via my email address which you can find in this website. -
-- The Arch Linux is my favorite flavor of Linux to use as my daily - driver. It's simplicity combined with a vast and detailed documentation - is splendid. The installation of Arch Linux on the official page is - minimal and intentionally kept this way to install only the packages - we require. -
-- You can find the ISO image download on the - Arch Linux website. I'll - keep the creating of a bootable disk to the exercise for the readers. -
-- These are the steps, I'm going to focus on writing here. -

# Connecting to the internet
- Enter the command ip link on your terminal. - You will see the list of Ethernet or Wireless network interfaces. - Make sure, the network interface appears on the list. - -- We are going to use and config wpa_supplicant. - First step is to open this file: -
- vim /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -- and enter the network credentials (in my case, it is my mobile personal - hotspot): -
- network={
- ssid="<your-hotspot-name>"
- psk="<your-hostspot-password>"
- }
-
- Save and close the editor. Now type in the below command with your
- network interface name and enter:
- - wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -- -
