Archinstall’s New Menu System Makes it Even Easier to Install Arch Linux
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
Last year, this time around, Arch Linux [introduced a guided installer][1] to make the installation process easier.
|
||
|
||
All you had to do was type in “**archinstall**” to get started with the step-by-step installation without needing to customize all by yourself.
|
||
|
||
Not just for new users, it should also save you some time to install Arch Linux in general. You get all the essential options starting from creating username/root user, selecting the desktop, picking software packages, choosing the audio server, and more.
|
||
|
||
If you are curious, you can take a look at archinstall in action in our [installation guide for Arch Linux on VirtualBox][2].
|
||
|
||
Now, with archinstall v2.4.1, we have a new menu system and numerous technical changes.
|
||
|
||
Let us take a look at it and how it works.
|
||
|
||
### Archinstall’s New Menu System & Accessibility Improvements
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
The new menu system looks much more organized.
|
||
|
||
It is built using [simple-term-menu][4] as its base, which is a package to create interactive menus on the command line. To avoid external dependencies, it has been bundled with the source, all thanks to Ingo Meyer.
|
||
|
||
Other developers include [Werner Llácer][5] and [Daniel][6] to make this work with 1200+ lines of code.
|
||
|
||
The menu system is also accessibility friendly. You can switch it to the tracking selection mode using the “numpad *”, which should make espeakup work, as one would expect.
|
||
|
||
In future archinstall versions, it will honor default tracking mode as well.
|
||
|
||
As you can notice in the screenshot above, you get to set the language, keyboard layout, kernels, audio server, user, network, and more essential options.
|
||
|
||
Once you select the hard drive, the menu will add another option to let you choose a “disk layout” where you can select the type of file system.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Similarly, as you proceed with each option, you will get access to more things to tweak like the profiles to set your desktop environment:
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
By default, you have a swap enabled. But, you can tweak that as you require. Overall, it should be a seamless experience, with all installation prerequisites presented in a menu form.
|
||
|
||
Thanks to _Sreenath_ on our team for testing this through to give you some screenshots:

||

|
||
|
||
In addition to these changes, you can also expect the following improvements:
|
||
|
||
* BTRFS compression option added as an option if you select btrfs as filesystem.
|
||
* Archinstall now supports multiple NIC configurations at the same time for manual configuration
|
||
* The installer keeps track of which packages have been installed through archinstall.Installer()
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To explore all the technical changes and bug fixes, you can refer to the [release notes on GitHub][10].
|
||
|
||
**You can wait for the latest ISO (scheduled for May 1) to try it out, or download it from GitHub and try it yourself.**
|
||
|
||
_Have you tried the original guided installer on Arch Linux? Or do you prefer to configure everything without the installer? Feel free to let me know your thoughts below._
