Archived and No longer maintained.

Due to the constant updates and time it takes to maintain this script I will no longer be updating it. Free free to fork it and take what you want from here. There has been some fantastic contributions over the past year and I learned a lot while making this project.

Thank you!

ArchTitus Installer Script

GitHub Super-Linter

This README contains the steps I do to install and configure a fully-functional Arch Linux installation containing a desktop environment, all the support packages (network, bluetooth, audio, printers, etc.), along with all my preferred applications and utilities. The shell scripts in this repo allow the entire process to be automated.)


Create Arch ISO or Use Image

Download ArchISO from https://archlinux.org/download/ and put on a USB drive with Etcher, Ventoy, or Rufus

If you don't want to build using this script I did create an image @ https://cttstore.com/arch-titus

Boot Arch ISO

From initial Prompt type the following commands:

pacman -Sy git
git clone https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/ArchTitus
cd ArchTitus
./archtitus.sh

System Description

This is completely automated arch install. It includes prompts to select your desired desktop environment, window manager, AUR helper, and whether to do a full or minimal install. The KDE desktop environment on arch includes all the packages I use on a daily basis, as well as some customizations.

Troubleshooting

Arch Linux RickEllis Installation Guide

Arch Linux Wiki Installation Guide

The main script will generate .log files for every script that is run as part of the installation process. These log files contain the terminal output so you can review any warnings or errors that occurred during installation and aid in troubleshooting.

No Wifi

You can check if the WiFi is blocked by running rfkill list. If it says Soft blocked: yes, then run rfkill unblock wifi

After unblocking the WiFi, you can connect to it. Go through these 5 steps:

#1: Run iwctl

#2: Run device list, and find your device name.

#3: Run station [device name] scan

#4: Run station [device name] get-networks

#5: Find your network, and run station [device name] connect [network name], enter your password and run exit. You can test if you have internet connection by running ping google.com, and then Press Ctrl and C to stop the ping test.

Reporting Issues

An issue is easier to resolve if it contains a few important pieces of information.

  1. Chosen configuration from /configs/setup.conf (DONT INCLUDE PASSWORDS)
  2. Errors seen in .log files
  3. What commit/branch you used
  4. Where you were installing (VMWare, Virtualbox, Virt-Manager, Baremetal, etc)
    1. If a VM, what was the configuration used.
