## Introduction
4+
For AUT-ICPC competitions of 2019, an Archlinux iso image was provided.
5+
So here are some links and explanations for the journey of installing and configuring and having a live image in Archlinux.
6+
7+
### Getting Started
8+
9+
A heads up from Archlinux website for starting([see by youself](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Frequently_asked_questions#Why_would_I_not_want_to_use_Arch?)
10+
):
11+
```
12+
You may not want to use Arch, if
13+
14+
- you require support for an architecture other than x86_64.
15+
- you do not have the ability/time/desire for a 'do-it-yourself' GNU/Linux distribution.
16+
- you believe an operating system should configure itself, run out of the box, and include a complete default
17+
set of software and desktop environment on the installation media.
18+
```
19+
> **General Tip**
20+
- Whenever you got stuck in the procedures, Archwiki will be your saviour.

## Download Arch Iso
29+
You can download Arch iso from [here](https://www.archlinux.org/download).
30+
31+
## Installation
32+
For installing Arch, you can use the documents existing at [Archwiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org) or just watching tutorials at Youtube.
33+
34+
- [Installation Guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/installation_guide) at Archwiki.
35+
- Tutorials at Youtube:
36+
- [First tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuX4ERxnrsY)
37+
- [Second tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lizdpoZj_vU&t=1475s)
38+
39+
40+
> Tips
41+
- For a fully functional base system, pay attention to the packages appended to the end of **pacstrap** command, otherwise you may end up having no _text editor_ or _network manager_.
42+
for example:
43+
```
44+
pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware
45+
```
46+
- Set the system clock up to date, otherwise you may face some problems later.
47+
48+
## Post-installation
49+
- Like setting up a **graphical user interface**, **sound** or a **touchpad**.
50+
You can visit Archwiki for [General recommendations](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/General_recommendations) after installation.
51+
- For a list of applications that may be of interest, see [List of applications](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications).
52+
53+
### Graphical user interface
54+
- Archwiki's documents on [GUI](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Category:Graphical_user_interfaces)
55+
56+
#### Desktop environment
57+
For setting up a desktop environment and choosing the desktop itself, [Arcolinuxd website](https://arcolinuxd.com/7-the-actual-installation-of-arch-linux-phase-3/) is a good source to go.
58+
59+
## Live Image
60+
In order to generate Arch images, you need to use Archiso.
61+
> Archiso is a small set of bash scripts capable of building fully functional Arch Linux live CD/DVD/USB images.
62+
- For installing Archiso use the following command:
63+
```
64+
pacman -S archiso
65+
or
66+
yaourt archiso-git
67+
```
