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 :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 now). Usually, my distros will be installed on at least two partitions, one dedicated to =/home=, the other to the root partition =/=. If the computer supports EFI bootloaders, the EFI partition will be mounted on =/boot=. I generally use rEFInd 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. The swap partition is always at least 4GB large, and I should have a total of 12GB of combined RAM and swap. This means on my main computer I have 16GB of RAM and 4GB of swap, but on my thinkpad I have 4GB of RAM and 8GB of swap. ** Get the latest live system with fast mirrors :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Install_Arch_Linux-Get_the_latest_live_system_with_fast_mirrors-59d2a90d :END: When you boot into the live ISO, execute the following command: #+BEGIN_SRC sh :exports code pacman -Sy reflector reflector -c France -c Germany -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. ** Install the system :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Install_Arch_Linux-Install_the_system-3ff49aa6 :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 quickly now. #+BEGIN_SRC sh wget archfi.sf.net/archfi # Or from matmoul.github.io/archfi if SourceForge is down sh archfi #+END_SRC Then, follow the instructions and install Arch Linux. Take the opportunity to 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. Once your system is installed, reboot and remove your installation media from your computer. * Install basic packages :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Install_basic_packages-c2cfb42d :END: We will need some basic packages in order to run the bootstrap file. So, let’s install =fish= (our shell running the script) and =git=. #+BEGIN_SRC sh yay -Sy fish git yadm #+END_SRC * Execute bootstrap :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :tangle ~/.config/yadm/bootstrap :HEADER-ARGS:python: :tangle no :CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-e37054ef :END: =yadm= comes with a very handy feature: its bootstrap script. It can be executed automatically once the dotfiles are cloned with yadm: #+BEGIN_SRC fish :tangle no 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 Notice these two header files, we can see this is a fish script, hence why we need fish (which is my daily shell anyway). #+BEGIN_SRC fish #!/usr/bin/fish # -*- mode: fish -*- #+END_SRC Let’s take a look at what it does. ** Decrypt private yadm files :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-Decrypt_private_yadm_files-68af7157 :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 yadm decrypt #+END_SRC ** Get a correct keyboard layout :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-Get_a_correct_keyboard_layout-77d24b30 :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" Option "XkbLayout" "fr" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbVariant" "bepo_afnor" Option "XkbOptions" "caps:ctrl_modifier" EndSection' #+END_SRC So, let’s set it as our keyboard configuration. #+BEGIN_SRC fish printf "\n# Set keyboard layout #########################################################\n\n" echo $keyboardconf | sudo tee /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf #+END_SRC ** Set our locale :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-Set_our_locale-e74d772a :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 Let’s enable these. #+BEGIN_SRC fish printf "\n# Set locale ##################################################################\n\n" for item in $mylocales if test (grep -e "#$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_IDENTIFICATION=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR.UTF-8" #+END_SRC Let’s set it as our system’s locale. #+BEGIN_SRC fish echo $localeconf | sudo tee /etc/locale.conf #+END_SRC Now we can generate our locale! #+BEGIN_SRC fish printf "\n# Generate locale #############################################################\n\n" sudo locale-gen #+END_SRC ** Create some folders :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-Create_some_folders-bf701387 :END: Let’s create some folders we might need for mounting our drives, Android devices and CDs. #+BEGIN_SRC fish printf "\n# Create directories for mounting #############################################\n\n" sudo mkdir -p /mnt/{USB,CD,Android} sudo chown $USER:(id -g $USER) /mnt/{USB,CD,Android} #+END_SRC We also need the following folder for our nano backups. #+BEGIN_SRC fish mkdir -p $HOME/.cache/nano/backups #+END_SRC ** Set user’s shell to fish :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-Set_user’s_shell_to_fish-1a794be2 :END: First of all, the bootstrap shell will set the user’s shell to fish. #+BEGIN_SRC fish printf "\n# Set fish as the default shell ###############################################\n\n" if not test "$SHELL" = "/usr/bin/fish" chsh -s /usr/bin/fish end #+END_SRC ** Install =yay= if it isn’t already installed :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-Install_=yay=_if_it_isn’t_already_installed-1e777b8b :END: Now we’ll need to be sure =yay=, our AUR helper, is installed on our system. If it is, we don’t need to to anything. However, if it isn’t, we’ll install it manually. #+BEGIN_SRC fish if ! test (which yay) printf "\n# Installing yay ##############################################################\n\n" cd mkdir -p ~/fromGIT cd ~/fromGIT git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git cd yay makepkg -si --noconfirm else printf "\n# yay already installed #######################################################\n\n" end #+END_SRC ** Install basic packages :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: Execute_bootstrap-Install_basic_packages-17173316 :END: Let’s set in a custom varible what packages we’ll be needing. #+BEGIN_SRC fish set PACKAGES \ acpilight adobe-source-han-sans-jp-fonts arc-gtk-theme asar ascii aspell-en \ aspell-fr awesome awesome-terminal-fonts awesome-freedesktop-git base-devel \ bashtop bat biber bitwarden-bin bluez-firmware bluez-utils bookworm bzip2 \ chicken chromium clisp corrupter-git cppcheck cppreference \ cppreference-devhelp cpupower discord-canary discount dmenu-lpass docker \ docker-compose dockerfile-language-server-bin doxygen dunst emacs \ emacs-org-mode exa exfat-utils farbfeld fd ffmpegthumbnailer findutils firefox \ flake8 flat-remix-gtk freeglut fzf gcc-libs gdb gimp gnome-disk-utility \ gnome-epub-thumbnailer gnu-free-fonts gnuplot go go-tools golangci-lint-bin \ graphviz htop i3-gaps-rounded-git i3lock-color inetutils isync \ j4-dmenu-desktop javascript-typescript-langserver js-beautify jfsutils jmtpfs \ lain-git less libxft-bgra linux-headers lldb logrotate ly meson minted man-db \ man-pages mpc mpd mpd-rich-presence-discord-git mpv mupdf-tools nano ncdu \ ncmpcpp nemo-fileroller nemo-preview neofetch netctl networkmanager \ networkmanager-openvpn nitrogen nm-connection-editor nodejs-vmd nomacs \ nordvpn-bin noto-fonts-emoji npm ntfs-3g numlockx obs-studio openssh \ otf-fandol otf-ipafont p7zip pacman-contrib pandoc-bin pass pavucontrol pdfpc \ picom-ibhagwan-git polybar powerline-fonts prettier pulseaudio-bluetooth \ python-autoflake python-envtpl-git python-epc python-importmagic \ python-language-server python-nose python-pip python-ptvsd python-pytest \ python-pywal qt5-imageformats qemu r raw-thumbnailer reflector ripgrep rofi \ rsync rtv ruby-rb-fsevent ruby-sass rustup samba scrot sent shadow siji-git \ simplescreenrecorder sshfs st-luke-git sxiv texlive-bin texlive-langchinese \ texlive-langcyrillic texlive-langgreek texlive-langjapanese texlive-langkorean \ texlive-latexextra texlive-localmanager-git texlive-most tmux tree \ ttf-arphic-uming ttf-baekmuk ttf-charis-sil ttf-dejavu \ ttf-google-fonts-opinionated-git ttf-hanazono ttf-joypixels ttf-koruri \ ttf-liberation ttf-monapo ttf-sazanami ttf-tibetan-machine typescript \ typescript-language-server-bin unicode-emoji unrar usbutils valgrind \ vscode-css-languageserver-bin vscode-html-languageserver-bin w3m wget \ x11-ssh-askpass xclip xdg-user-dirs-gtk xfsprogs xorg-drivers xorg-server \ xorg-xinit xss-lock xvkbd yaml-language-server-bin yapf zeal #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: These are the minimum I would have in my own installation.
