2. If you want to install Archlinux on a laptop or other computer, you need to burn the image onto a USB flash drive.

3. If ArchLinux (for example, VMware Workstation) is installed on VMS, you need to change the boot mode of the firmware to UEFI.

(PS: POSITION order: VM Settings menu -> Options -> Advanced -> FIRMWARE Type – Select UEFI – OK)

4. For laptops or other computers, find the corresponding file and enable UEFI.

5. If it is a VIRTUAL machine, you can use login software to perform operations, which will improve efficiency.

Two, start the system and format the disk partition:

2.1 Configuration after UEFI startup

Select the first item and press Enter.

Step 6: Create a system root partition, that is, except for the boot partition, all the other partitions are assigned to the root partition, but you can also create other partitions according to their own needs.

The other steps in the figure are enter 3, 4, 7, 8.

3.4 Checking Partition Status:

Command: fdisk -lCopy the code

3.5 Formatting the Boot Partition

Run the mkfs.fat -f32 /dev/sda1 commandCopy the code

3.6 Format Root Directory Partition:

Command: mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2Copy the code

4. Mount disk partitions

4.1 Mounting a Boot Partition:

Run the mount /dev/sda2/ / MNT commandCopy the code

4.2 Creating UEFI Files:

Run the mkdir -p/MNT /boot/efi commandCopy the code

4.3 Mounting a Root Directory Partition

Run the mount /dev/sda1 / MNT /boot/efi commandCopy the code

5. Execute the desktop installation script
