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.
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00
* Install Arch Linux

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 now). Usually, my distros will be installed on two partitions: ~/home~ and ~/~ (root).
If the computer supports EFI bootloaders, the EFI partition will be mounted on ~/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. For instance, my current computer has 32GB of RAM, hence my SWAP partition is 16GB large.

When you boot into the live ISO, execute the following command:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
pacman -Sy reflector
reflector -c FR -c DE -c BE -l 200 -p http -p https --sort rate \
--save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist --verbose
#+END_SRC
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 your location. In my case, I am only interested in French, German, and Belgian mirrors.

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 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 ]].
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
wget archfi.sf.net/archfi
# Or from matmoul.github.io/archfi if SourceForge is down
sh archfi
#+END_SRC
2021-02-04 08:15:09 +00:00
Then, follow the instructions and install Arch Linux. Take the opportunity to install as many packages as you need, mainly ~paru~ 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.
2020-11-13 14:18:43 +00:00
Once your system is installed, reboot and remove your installation media from your computer.

:CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-e37054ef
:END:
2021-02-04 08:15:09 +00:00
The first thing I will do is add the [[https://github.com/archlinuxcn/repo ][ArchLinuxCN ]] repository so I can get access to ~paru~ .
2020-11-13 14:18:43 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
2021-02-04 08:15:09 +00:00
printf '[archlinuxcn]\nServer = https://repo.archlinuxcn.org/ $arch\n' | sudo tee -a /etc/pacman.conf
#+END_SRC
I can now install ~fish~ , ~git~ , and ~paru~ :
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
sudo pacman -S fish git paru
#+END_SRC
And now that ~paru~ is available, we can install ~yadm~ :
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
paru -S yadm
2020-11-13 14:18:43 +00:00
#+END_SRC
~yadm~ comes with a very handy feature: its bootstrap script. It can be executed automatically once the dotfiles are cloned with yadm:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
yadm clone https://labs.phundrak.com/phundrak/dotfiles
# or if labs.phundrak.com is down or too slow for you
#yadm clone https://github.com/phundrak/dotfiles
#+END_SRC
Let’ s take a look at what it does.
2020-01-16 18:48:14 +00:00

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
if test "$USER" = 'phundrak'
yadm decrypt
else
whiptail --yesno "Decrypt private files?" 8 40 && yadm decrypt
end
#+END_SRC

2020-11-13 14:18:43 +00:00
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"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbVariant" "bepo_afnor"
Option "XkbOptions" "caps:ctrl_modifier"
EndSection'
#+END_SRC
So, let’ s ask the user if they want to set it as their keyboard configuration.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
printf "\n# Set keyboard layout #########################################################\n\n"
whiptail --yesno "Would you like to set your keyboard layout to the bépo layout?" 8 55

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
I’ ll let the user accept them one by one.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
printf "\n# Set locale ##################################################################\n\n"
for item in $mylocales
whiptail --yesno "Set the \"$item\" locale?" 8 40
if test $status -eq 0 -a (grep -e "#$item" /etc/locale.gen)
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
set localeconf "LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_NAME=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.UTF-8

LC_PAPER=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8

#+END_SRC
Let’ s set it as our system’ s locale if the user whishes to.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
whiptail --yesno "Do you agree to have the following locale set?\n\n $localeconf" 20 43
if test $status -eq 0

Now, the first thing we want to do with Emacs is install its Spacemacs distribution. We’ ll clone its =develop= branch into =~/.config/emacs= . We need to do this prior to our dotfiles’ cloning because of some submodules that are cloned within our =~/.config/emacs= directory, and git won’ t let us clone Spacemacs in an already existing and non-empty directory.
