Script Execution

Execution

Usage

  1. Install Arch linux.

    A built-in installer (using archinstall) will be added in the future. In the meantime, use archfi instead. sudo and wget, and paru-bin must be installed.

  2. Create a user.

    Create a user in wheel group and create a home directory:

    useradd -G wheel -m pomp
    

    Allow user to use sudo:

    EDITOR=vim visudo
    

    Now, log in to the user account.

  3. Download the setup script.

    wget setup.developomp.com -O setup.py
    
  4. Execute it.

    python ./setup.py
    

Full setup could easily take more than a hour depending on the internet speed.
