Install Arch like a boss: Archinstall script

🚀 Arch Linux Script

Configure Arch the easy way: Architect project by Cardiac

This script is perfect for configuring a stock Arch system with a minimal set of packages tailored to your needs right after using archinstall. Specifically, it's geared towards gaming.

Important

It's specifically designed for a pure Arch Linux experience (not tested on Garuda, Manjaro, etc.). We make all our test based on a fresh install of Arch Linux with archinstall. It is not suitable for outdated computers. Ensure your hardware meets the requirements for the latest Nvidia drivers.

Caution

The script modifies your system configuration, see the wiki or community panel for more informations.

Execute the following in the terminal to run the script (requires sudo access):

sudo pacman -S git base-devel && git clone https://github.com/Cardiacman13/Architect.git ~/Architect && cd ~/Architect && ./architect.sh
