The EASIEST Way to Install Arch Linux (archinstall)

In this video, I introduce you to the "archinstall" command, which is a command in the Arch Linux ISO that provides a guided installer for Arch Linux. Disclaimer: If you select a drive in archinstall, and elect to wipe it, all data on that drive WILL BE LOST! In addition, if you elect to partition manually, while it is rare, there is a chance that partitioning may cause data loss. For this reason, I suggest you back up your data before installing Arch Linux on any production machine. I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS THAT MAY OCCUR FROM FOLLOWING THIS TUTORIAL! Prerequisites: 1. A computer (obviously) 2. An external drive (at least 1 GB in size); if you are going to be installing Arch Linux on a physical machine 3. An internet connection (preferably wired) Links: Arch Linux ISO: https://archlinux.org/download/ Arch Linux Wiki article for the iwctl Utility (if you want to connect to a Wi-Fi network in the Arch Linux ISO): https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd#iwctl Arch Linux Packages: https://archlinux.org/packages/ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/drewhowdentech/join
