+	  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.
+        </p>
+	<p>
+	  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.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	  You can find the ISO image download on the 
+	  <a href="https://archlinux.org/download/">Arch Linux website</a>. I'll
+	  keep the creating of a bootable disk to the exercise for the readers.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	  These are the steps, I'm going to focus on writing here.
+	  <ul>
+	    <li>
+	      <a href="#connectToInternet">Connecting to the internet</a>
+	    </li>
+	  </ul>
+      	</p>
+	<p>
+	<h4 id="connectToInternet"><a href="#connectToInternet">#</a> Connecting to the internet</h4>
+	  Enter the command <span class="pre">ip link</span> on your terminal.
+	  You will see the list of Ethernet or Wireless network interfaces.
+	  Make sure, the network interface appears on the list.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	We are going to use and config <span class="pre">wpa_supplicant</span>.
+	First step is to open this file:
+	  <pre>
+	    vim /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
+	  </pre>
+	and enter the network credentials (in my case, it is my mobile personal
+	hotspot):
+	  <pre>
+	    network={<br/>
+	    &nbsp;&nbsp;ssid="&lt;your-hotspot-name&gt;"<br/>
+	    &nbsp;&nbsp;psk="&lt;your-hostspot-password&gt;"<br/>
+	    }
+	  </pre>
+	Save and close the editor. Now type in the below command with your
+	network interface name and enter:
+	  <pre>
+	  wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
+	  </pre>
+	</p>
