This post emphises my way of installing Arch Linux. If you think, I could improve upon something on this post, you can start shouting at me via my email address which you can find in this website.

The Arch Linux is my favorite flavor of Linux to use as my daily driver. It's simplicity combined with a vast and detailed documentation is splendid. The installation of Arch Linux on the official page is minimal and intentionally kept this way to install only the packages we require.

You can find the ISO image download on the Arch Linux website. I'll keep the creating of a bootable disk to the exercise for the readers.

These are the steps, I'm going to focus on writing here.

• Connecting to the internet

# Connecting to the internet

Enter the command ip link on your terminal. You will see the list of Ethernet or Wireless network interfaces. Make sure, the network interface appears on the list.

We are going to use and config wpa_supplicant. First step is to open this file:

	    vim /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
	  

and enter the network credentials (in my case, it is my mobile personal hotspot):

	    network={

	      ssid="<your-hotspot-name>"

	      psk="<your-hostspot-password>"

	    }
	  

Save and close the editor. Now type in the below command with your network interface name and enter:

	  wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
