You can add a -no-confirm flag to yaourt that will prevent it from asking you if you want to proceed with each step of the installation process.

Unselect "Use colors from system theme" and select "Solarized Dark" (my preferred color scheme). I don't like the default white background of the terminal, so you can change this by editing the default profile. oossssso-````/ossssss+` Icon Theme: Numix-Circle Create home partitionīefore exiting the fdisk interface, enter the w command to write the proposed changes.
#ARCH LINUX MACBOOK AIR 2017 INSTALL CODE#
Specify that we are still working with partition 2, and then enter 82, the code for SWAP partition. Press t to indicate the type of partition this will be. Press ENTER to select the default start sector, and then type +1G to create a 1GB swap partition. Press n for a new partition, press p for primary partition. When prompted for first sector press ENTER, and for last sector enter +10G for a 10GB partition. You may get some warnings about a partition containing some type of trace (such as ext4). Run lsblk to determine which drive you want to format, then run fdisk /dev/sdX where X corresponds to the drive we will be using. When installing Arch Linux on a disk that has Windows or Linux installed (and you want delete the existing Windows or Linux completely to make room for a fresh Arch Linux istallation), you can delete the partitions on the drive (which is usually labeled /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc). On your Virtual Machine it will most likely be sda, but on a physical machine it could vary slightly. The default font when installing Arch Linux is quite small, so you may want to increase the font size. With this done, you will want to create a virtual machine with at at least 20GB of storage and around 4GB of memory. You will need to go into the BIOS (by pressing delete of F10/ F12 at boot time) and then change this option, save the BIOS settings and restart. This is because Intel Virtualization is often disabled by default. The first obstacle is you will probably face with VirtualBox is that there are no options for 64-bit. You are probably using a 64-bit machine (although some old netbooks are 32-bit). This part of the guide will closely follow this guide and provide some corrections where you might get stuck following the directions command for command.įirst we want to set up a new virtual machine with the options Linx / ArchLinux / 64-bit. Land of Linux has a great tutorial on installing Arch Linux in Virtual Box, but it is frustrating because there is no date and no comments. I have installed Arch Linux on my Windows desktop machine, as well as my MacBook Air. I also picked up a SSD sleeve that can replace the optical drive for dual booting or additional storage. The T430 came with a copy of Windows Pro, which I installed right away.
#ARCH LINUX MACBOOK AIR 2017 INSTALL ISO#
I was able to select ISO (in ISO mode), choose the ISO file in my downloads folder, and then select DD mode. Note: Be sure to select DD mode or the image will be transferred incorrectly.Ī problem I found is that you can't select the ISO with DD mode selected. The Arch Wiki has a highlighted note about using Rufus: I was able to find another Mac that had the option for creating "Windows 7 or later", and this finally worked.Īnother solution that is probably much faster is using Rufus, a Windows/Linux utility for burning ISO images to bootable media. I also found that the latest MacBooks can't create bootable media.
#ARCH LINUX MACBOOK AIR 2017 INSTALL WINDOWS 7#
Only the options for Windows 7 and 8 were available in Boot Camp Assistant (the Mac utility for installing Windows and creating bootable media).
#ARCH LINUX MACBOOK AIR 2017 INSTALL WINDOWS 10#
I found out that my 2011 MacBook Air is not capable of creating Windows 10 bootable media. If you are using a Mac to build the bootable drive, I have read that you can use the dd command. It should take just a few minutes to complete the download via BitTorrent. I recommend that you download a BitTorrent client such as Deluge, and then grab the ISO magnet link from.

I will try to cover absolutely everything you need from creating a bootable USB drive to customizing the desktop interface and installing development environments and tools.
#ARCH LINUX MACBOOK AIR 2017 INSTALL PRO#
I will be installing Arch Linux on a refurbished ThinkPad T430 Laptop, first as a guest OS on a Windows 10 Pro host, and then on a secondary SSD that will replace the optical drive. This post will be a comprehensive guide to installing Arch Linux.
