# Joe's Arch Linux installation script
## Introduction
My original script meant to automate your Arch Linux installation process. This is work in progress, so it will **not work**. I am currently struggling with `GRUB`, with little surprise.
*Note:* while the script simplifies the whole installation process, this is not made for new users. It is meant for users that already performed **Arch Linux** installations and more or less understand what's going on. It's always best to learn Arch by yourself.
*Note:* the script does not install too many bloatware other than some utils. You will be prompted to choose whether or not you want `Xorg` and other classic desktop user extras.
## How to use
First make sure you are booted in a live *Arch ISO environment*, with the familiar prompt waiting for instructions.
Secondly, you will require a working internet connection. To **try your connection** use:
```shell
ping -c4 archlinux.org
```
If it fails, refer to [the Arch Wiki installation guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide#Connect_to_the_internet) to get an internet connection working.
Now you are ready to run the script. Run **the following commands** to begin setup and installation:
```shell
wget https://raw.githubusercontenent.com/JozanLeClerc/joes-arch-install/master/joes-arch-install-UEFI.sh
chmod +x joes-arch-install-UEFI.sh
./joes-arch-install-UEFI.sh
```
## Disclaimers
First, only **UEFI-type installation** is supported at the moment. **BIOS version** soon to come.
While there is some basic error managements, **do not** try to break the script by inputting deliberately harmful stuff when prompted. As an **Arch Linux** installation can be complex and sensitive, it will most certainly work. This is meant to ease your life, it is not a skill test.
**Do NOT** run this on your already installed machine. It can *damage severely* your current installation. It is meant to be used only in the live *Arch ISO environment* and your intention must be to install **Arch Linux** on the system.
The script does not handle **dual boot** on a **single disk**, while you should be fine with an already installed OS on another disk thanks to `os-prober`.
It does not handle **multiple disk partitionning**.
