Binary executable
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Archinstall can be compiled into a standalone executable.
|
|
For Arch Linux based systems, there's a package for this called `archinstall <https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/archinstall/>`_.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
This is not required if you're running archinstall on a pre-built ISO. The installation is only required if you're creating your own scripted installations.
|
|
|
|
Using pacman
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Archinstall is on the `official repositories <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories>`_.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
sudo pacman -S archinstall
|
|
|
|
Using PKGBUILD
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The `source <https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall>`_ contains a binary `PKGBUILD <https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall/tree/master/PKGBUILD/archinstall>`_ which can be either copied straight off the website or cloned using :code:`git clone https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall`.
|
|
|
|
Once you've obtained the `PKGBUILD`, building it is pretty straight forward.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
makepkg -s
|
|
|
|
Which should produce an `archinstall-X.x.z-1.pkg.tar.zst` which can be installed using:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
sudo pacman -U archinstall-X.x.z-1.pkg.tar.zst
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
For a complete guide on the build process, please consult the `PKGBUILD on ArchWiki <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD>`_.
|
|
|
|
Manual compilation
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
You can compile the source manually without using a custom mirror or the `PKGBUILD` that is shipped.
|
|
Simply clone or download the source, and while standing in the cloned folder `./archinstall`, execute:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
nuitka3 --standalone --show-progress archinstall
|
|
|
|
This requires the `nuitka <https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/nuitka/>`_ package as well as `python3` to be installed locally.
