+ + 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 ++ +
