# my-arch-setup
Step by step commands for set up my arch 

## Load into live-system virtual console 
### First of all connect to wifi

turn on the network interface (wlan0)
```
ip link set wlan0 up
```

make sure the wireless card is not blocked with
```
rfkill unblock wifi
```

scan for network
```
iwctl station wlan0 scan
```

connect to my wifi
```
iwctl --passphrase passphrase station wlan0 connect SSID
```

the connection may be verified with ping
```
ping archlinux.org
```

### Setup time&date

syncronize time&date
```
timedatectl set-npt true

### Partition the disks
Create UEFI with GPT partion layout without swap

enter partioner

check current partions and verified that our hard drive have device name "sda" (or replace next all "sda" to your device name)
```
print list
```

remove all partions
```
rm 1
rm 2
rm 3
```
creating partions: 500MB for UEFI bootloader & other for root
```
mkpart boot fat 0 500
mkpart root ext4 500 256000
```

exit partioner
```
quit
```

create filesystem
```
mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
```

mount a filesystem
```
mkdir /efi 
mount /dev/sda1 /efi
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
```

install the base package, Linux kernel and firmware for common hardware
```
pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware vim grab efibootmgr networkmanager
```

Generate an fstab file
```
genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
```

Change root into the new system
```
arch-chroot /mnt
```

Set the timezone
```
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Region/City /etc/localtime
```

generate /etc/adjtime:
```
hwclock --systohc
```

Edit /etc/locale.gen with already installed vim and uncomment
```en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8```
```ru_RU.UTF-8 UTF-8```

Then generate locales

echo "domain" > /etc/hostname
```
Create hosts file
```
echo "127.0.0.1" > /etc/hosts
echo "::1 localhost" >> /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.1.1 domain.localdomain domain" >> /etc/hosts
```

### Root password

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=efi --bootloader-id=GRUB
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
```
