How to install Arch Linux the easy way with Evo/Lution
================================================================================
The one who ventures into an install of Arch Linux and has only experienced installing Linux with Ubuntu or Mint is in for a steep learning curve. The number of people giving up halfway is probably higher than the ones that pull it through. Arch Linux is somewhat cult in the way that you may call yourself a weathered Linux user if you succeed in setting it up and configuring it in a useful way.
Even though there is a [helpful wiki][1] to guide newcomers, the requirements are still too high for some who set out to conquer Arch. You need to be at least familiar with commands like fdisk or mkfs in a terminal and have heard of mc, nano or chroot to make it through this endeavour. It reminds me of a Debian install 10 years ago.
For those ambitious souls that still lack some knowledge, there is an installer in the form of an ISO image called [Evo/Lution Live ISO][2] to the rescue. Even though it is booted like a distribution of its own, it does nothing but assist with installing a barebone Arch Linux. Evo/Lution is a project that aims to diversify the user base of Arch by providing a simple way of installing Arch as well as a community that provides comprehensive help and documentation to that group of users. In this mix, Evo is the (non-installable) live CD and Lution is the installer itself. The project's founders see a widening gap between Arch developers and users of Arch and its derivative distributions, and want to build a community with equal roles between all participants.

The software part of the project is the CLI installer Lution-AIS which explains every step of what happens during the installation of a pure vanilla Arch. The resulting installation will have all the latest software that Arch has to offer without adding anything from AUR or any other custom packages.
After booting up the ISO image, which weighs in at 422 MB, we are presented with a workspace consisting of a Conky display on the right with shortcuts to the options and a LX-Terminal on the left waiting to run the installer.
![](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5560/15067056888_6345c259db_z.jpg)
After setting off the actual installer by either right-clicking on the desktop or using ALT-i, you are presented with a list of 16 jobs to be run. It makes sense to run them all unless you know better. You can either run them one by one or make a selection like 1 3 6 or 1-4 or do them all at once by entering 1-16. Most steps need to be confirmed with a 'y' for yes, and the next task waits for you to hit Enter. This will allow time to read the installation guide which is hidden behind ALT-g or even walking away from it.
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3868/15253227082_5e7219f72d_z.jpg)
The 16 steps are divided in "Base Install" and "Desktop Install". The first group takes care of localization, partitioning, and installing a bootloader.
The installer leads you through partitioning with gparted, gdisk, and cfdisk as options.

![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3860/15253610055_e6a2a7a1cb_z.jpg)
After you have created partitions (e.g., /dev/sda1 for root and /dev/sda2 for swap using gparted as shown in the screenshot), you can choose 1 out of 10 file systems. In the next step, you can choose your kernel (latest or LTS) and base system.
![](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5560/15253610085_aa5a9557fb_z.jpg)
After installing the bootloader of your choice, the first part of the install is done, which takes approximately 12 minutes. This is the point where in plain Arch Linux you reboot into your system for the first time.
With Lution you just move on to the second part which installs Xorg, sound and graphics drivers, and then moves on to desktop environments.
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3918/15066917430_c21e0f0a9e_z.jpg)
The installer detects if an install is done in VirtualBox, and will automatically install and load the right generic drivers for the VM and sets up **systemd** accordingly.
In the next step, you can choose between the desktop environments KDE, Gnome, Cinnamon, LXDE, Enlightenment, Mate or XFCE. Should you not be friends with the big ships, you can also go with a Window manager like Awesome, Fluxbox, i3, IceWM, Openbox or PekWM.
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3874/15253610125_26f913be20_z.jpg)
Part two of the installer will take under 10 minutes with Cinnamon as the desktop environment; however, KDE will take longer due to a much larger download.
Lution-AIS worked like a charm on two tries with Cinnamon and Awesome. After the installer was done and prompted me to reboot, it took me to the desired environments.
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3885/15270946371_c2def59f37_z.jpg)
I have only two points to criticize: when the installer offered me to choose a mirror list and when it created the fstab file. In both cases it opened a second terminal, prompting me with an informational text. It took me a while to figure out I had to close the terminals before the installer would move on. When it prompts you after creating fstab, you need to close the terminal, and answer 'yes' when asked if you want to save the file.
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3874/15067056958_3bba63da60_z.jpg)
The second of my issues probably has to do with VirtualBox. When starting up, you may see a message that no network has been detected. Clicking on the top icon on the left will open wicd, the network manager that is used here. Clicking on "Disconnect" and then "Connect" and restarting the installer will get it automatically detected.
Evo/Lution seems a worthwhile project, where Lution works fine. Not much can be said on the community part yet. They started a brand new website, forum, and wiki that need to be filled with content first. So if you like the idea, join [their forum][3] and let them know. The ISO image can be downloaded from [the website][4].

Arch Linux安装捷径Evo/Lution
================================================================================
有些人只体验过Ubuntu或Mint的安装却鼓起勇气想要安装Arch Linux他们的学习道路是那样的陡峭和严峻安装过程中半途而废的人数可能要比顺利过关的人多。如果你成功以有用的方式跑起并配置了Arch Linux那么它已经把你培养成了一个饱经风霜的Linux用户。
即使有[有帮助的维基][1]可以为新手提供指南对于那些想要征服Arch的人而言要求仍然太高。你需要至少熟悉诸如fdisk或mkfs之类的终端命令并且听过mc、nano或chroot这些并努力掌握它们。这让我回想起了10年前的Debian安装。
对于那些满怀抱负而又缺乏知识的生灵,有一个叫[Evo/Lution Live ISO][2]的ISO镜像格式安装器可以拯救他们。即便它貌似和自有发行版一样启动但它也什么都没干除了辅助安装Arch Linux准系统。Evo/Lution是一个项目它旨在通过提供Arch的简单安装方式让Arch的用户基础多样化就像为那些用户提供全面帮助和文档的社区一样。在这样一个组合中Evo是Live CD不可安装而Lution是个安装器。项目创立者看到了Arch开发者和用户之间的巨大鸿沟及其衍生发行版而想要在所有参与者之间构筑一个平等身份的社区。
![](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5559/15067088008_ecb221408c_z.jpg)
项目的软件部分是命令行安装器Lution-AIS它解释了一个普通的纯净的Arch安装过程中的每一步。安装完毕后你将获得Arch提供的没有从AUR添加任何东西的最新软件或其它任何自定义的包。
启动这个422MB大小的ISO镜像后一个由显示在右边的带有选项快捷方式的Conky和一个左边等待运行安装器的LX-Terminal组成的工作区便呈现在我们眼前。
![](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5560/15067056888_6345c259db_z.jpg)
在通过右击桌面或使用ALT-i启动实际的安装器后一个写满了16个等待运行的任务的列表就出现在你面前了。除非你有一个更好的了解否则将这些命令全部运行一遍。你可以一次运行也可以进行选择如1 3 6或者1-4也可以一次将它们全部运行输入1-16。大多数步骤需要y即yes来确认而下一个任务则等着你敲击回车来执行。在此期间你有足够的时间来阅读安装指南它可以通过ALT-g来打开。当然你也可以出去溜达一圈再回来。
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3868/15253227082_5e7219f72d_z.jpg)
这16个步骤分成“基础安装”和“桌面安装”两组。第一个组安装主要关注本地化、分区以及安装启动器。
安装器带领你穿越分区世界你可以选择使用gparted、gdisk以及cfdisk。
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3873/15230603226_56bba60d28_z.jpg)
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3860/15253610055_e6a2a7a1cb_z.jpg)
创建完分区后像截图中所示用gparted划分/dev/sda1用于root/dev/sda2用于swap你可以在10个文件系统中选择其中之一。在下一步中你可以选择内核最新或长期支持LTS和基础系统。
![](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5560/15253610085_aa5a9557fb_z.jpg)
安装完你喜爱的启动加载器后第一部分安装就完成了这大约需要花费12分钟。这是在普通的Arch Linux中你第一次重启进入系统所处之处。
在Lution的帮助下继续进入第二部分在这一部分中将安装Xorg、声音和图形驱动然后进入桌面环境。
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3918/15066917430_c21e0f0a9e_z.jpg)
安装器会检测是否在VirtualBox中安装并且会自动为VM安装并加载正确的通用驱动然后相应地设置**systemd**。
在下一步中你可以选择KDE、Gnome、Cinnamon、LXDE、Englightenment、Mate或XFCE作为你的桌面环境。如果你不喜欢臃肿的桌面你也可以试试这些窗口管理器Awesome、Fluxbox、i3、IceWM、Openbox或PekWM。
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3874/15253610125_26f913be20_z.jpg)
在使用Cinnamon作为桌面环境的情况下第二部分安装将花费不到10分钟的时间而选择KDE的话因为要下载的东西多得多所以花费的时间也会更长。
Lution-AIS在Cinnamon和Awesome上像个妩媚的小妖精。在安装完成并提示重启后它就带我进入了我所渴望的环境。
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3885/15270946371_c2def59f37_z.jpg)
我要提出两点非议一是在安装器要我选择一个镜像列表时另外一个是在创建fstab文件时。在这两种情况下它都另外开了一个终端给出了一些文本信息提示。这让我花了点时间才搞清楚原来我得把它关了安装器才会继续。在创建fstab后它又会提示你而你需要关闭终端并在问你是否想要保存文件时回答
![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3874/15067056958_3bba63da60_z.jpg)
我碰到的第二个问题可能与VirtualBox有关了。在启动的时候你可以看到没有网络被检测到的提示信息。点击顶部左边的图标将会打开wicd这里所使用的网络管理器。点击“断开”然后再点击“连接”并重启安装器就可以让它自动检测到了。
Evo/Lution我以为是个有价值的项目在这里Lution工作一切顺利目前还没有什么可告诉社区的。他们开启了一个全新的网站、论坛和维基需要填充内容进去啊。所以如果你喜欢这主意加入[他们的论坛][3]并告诉他们吧。本文中的ISO镜像可以从[此网站][4]下载。
