Here will be presented what I do to get my system up and running on a fresh
Arch Linux install. These installation instructions were written in order to
get an Arch Linux distribution up and running with the same configuration as
my main computer’ s and my travelling laptop’ s configuration.
* Install Arch Linux
:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: Install_Arch_Linux-ac7ad3b2
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
:END:
I usually install Arch from the [[https://www.archlinux.org/download/ ][vanilla ISO ]], however I began using [[https://github.com/MatMoul/archfi ][archfi ]] to
install easily the distro (I’ ve done it so many times, I know how it works
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
now). Usually, my distros will be installed on two partitions: ~/home~ and ~/~
(root).
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
If the computer supports EFI bootloaders, the EFI partition will be mounted on
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
~/boot/efi~ . I generally use ~systemd-boot~ as my boot manager, but if you are
more comfortable with another one, just install what you want. Be aware that
if you format your ~/boot~ partition, you will delete all boot managers that
already exist; so, if you are dual-booting, *DO NOT FORMAT IT* . Yes, I made
the mistake of wiping the Windows boot manager when I used to dual-boot.
In order to use the ~suspend-then-hibernate~ systemd command, it is necessary
to have a swap partition at least twice the size of your installed RAM. That
is because when this command will be run, the system will try to save the
current state of your machine, stored in your RAM, to the swap filesystem. If
there is not enough space, the command will fail, and you won’ t be able to use
this command.
** Get the latest, fastest mirrors

2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
:END:
When you boot into the live ISO, execute the following command:
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
pacman -Sy reflector
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
reflector -c FR -c DE -c BE -l 200 -p http -p https --sort rate \
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
--save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist --verbose
#+END_SRC
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
This will update the packages from your live ISO, and you will get the best
mirrors for your installation. Of course, change the countries accordingly to
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
your location. In my case, I am only interested in French, German, and
Belgian mirrors.
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
** Install the system
:PROPERTIES:
2020-06-07 15:36:02 +00:00
:CUSTOM_ID: Install_Arch_Linux-Install_the_system-3ff49aa6
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
:END:
Then you can use a custom script to ease your installation of Arch if you do
not wish to do it manually. Personally, I’ ve done it several times already, I
know how the distro works, I just want to be able to install my distro
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
quickly now. I’ ll need to download the script with ~wget~ , but apparently it
isn’ t installed by default on Arch ISOs anymore, so I’ ll need to install it.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
pacman -S wget
#+END_SRC
Now, let’ s grab the script. You can check it on [[https://github.com/matmoul/archfi ][Github ]].
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
wget archfi.sf.net/archfi
# Or from matmoul.github.io/archfi if SourceForge is down
sh archfi
#+END_SRC
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
Then, follow the instructions and install Arch Linux. Take the opportunity to
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
install as many packages as you need, mainly ~yay~ which I use as my package
manager (it is just a wrapper for ~pacman~ ) and AUR helper, and
~pacman-contrib~ which will help us installing some packages later.
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
Once your system is installed, reboot and remove your installation media from
your computer.
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
* Execute bootstrap
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00

:END:
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
With the installation of Arch with ~archfi~ , I will have [[https://github.com/Jguer/yay ][yay ]], an AUR helper,
installed. This will allow me to have some basic packages installed in order
to run the bootstrap described below. So, let’ s install ~fish~ (our shell
running the script), ~git~ , and my dotfiles manager ~yadm~ .
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
2020-02-17 14:47:12 +00:00
yay -Sy fish git yadm
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
#+END_SRC
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
~yadm~ comes with a very handy feature: its bootstrap script. It can be
2020-02-17 14:47:12 +00:00
executed automatically once the dotfiles are cloned with yadm:
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
2020-02-17 14:47:12 +00:00
yadm clone https://labs.phundrak.com/phundrak/dotfiles
# or if labs.phundrak.com is down or too slow for you
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
#yadm clone https://github.com/phundrak/dotfiles
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
#+END_SRC
Let’ s take a look at what it does.
** Decrypt private yadm files
:PROPERTIES:
2020-06-07 15:36:02 +00:00
:CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-Decrypt_private_yadm_files-68af7157
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
:END:
Some private files are stored encrypted in the repository of my yadm
dotfiles. I will need them later on during the bootstrap execution.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
if test "$USER" = 'phundrak'
yadm decrypt
else
whiptail --yesno "Decrypt private files?" 8 40 && yadm decrypt
end
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
#+END_SRC
** Get a correct keyboard layout
:PROPERTIES:
2020-06-07 15:36:02 +00:00
:CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-Get_a_correct_keyboard_layout-77d24b30
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
:END:
I use mainly the [[https://bepo.fr/wiki/Accueil ][bépo ]] layout, a French keyboard layout inspired by Dvorak
layouts, however I sometimes need to switch back to the standard French
AZERTY or the American QWERTY layout, so I make it so the Menu key switches
for me my layout between these three. This makes it so my xorg configuration
of my keyboard looks like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set keyboardconf \
'Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
2020-07-17 14:56:22 +00:00
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
2020-07-17 14:56:22 +00:00
Option "XkbVariant" "bepo_afnor"
Option "XkbOptions" "caps:ctrl_modifier"
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
EndSection'
#+END_SRC
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
So, let’ s ask the user if they want to set it as their keyboard
configuration.
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
printf "\n# Set keyboard layout #########################################################\n\n"
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
whiptail --yesno "Would you like to set your keyboard layout to the bépo layout?" 8 55
if test $status -eq 0
echo $keyboardconf | sudo tee /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
end

2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
:END:
I use two main locales, the French and US UTF-8 locales, and I like to keep
the Japanese locale activated just in case.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set mylocales "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" "fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8" "ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8"
#+END_SRC
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
I’ ll let the user accept them one by one.
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
2020-02-22 10:55:17 +00:00

for item in $mylocales
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
whiptail --yesno "Set the \"$item\" locale?" 8 40
if test $status -eq 0 -a (grep -e "#$item" /etc/locale.gen)
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
sudo sed -i "/$item/s/ ^#//g" /etc/locale.gen
end
end
#+END_SRC
This is my configuration I usually use when it comes to my locale.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish

#+END_SRC
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
Let’ s set it as our system’ s locale if the user whishes to.
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
2020-09-28 16:17:07 +00:00
