Setup Arch Linux on the SD card

1. Set the permissions

Make setup_sdcard.sh and write_image.sh executable:
chmod +x setup_sdcard.sh && chmod +x write_image.sh

  • setup_sdcard.sh - formate the SD card with fdisk and create filesystems.
  • write_image.sh - download the image from the website (if you want) and write the files onto the SD Card.

2. Run setup the SD card

./setup_sdcard.sh /dev/mmcblk0

Wait message:
Done! To continue run write_image.sh

3 Run download and write image onto the SD Card

If you already downloaded image go to step 3.1.

  • ./write_image.sh 1 - for Raspberry Pi 1
  • ./write_image.sh 2 - for Raspberry Pi 2

If directory already contain image you you will get a question:
Re-download the image from the website [yes/no]?

After write image onto the SD Card go to step 4.

3.1 For already downloaded image

./write_image.sh <path_to_image>
