How to setup Arch Linux fast and easy

¿Arch es difficult de set up? What takes a lot of time to get ready? No more. To solve this problem comes AUI, script Once we have a standard Arch Linux installation on our system, it will allow us to leave Arch Linux fully configured even if we are the clumsiest and most novel being in the world.

Key features

  • Automatically configure rc.conf
  • Install additional repositories (optional)
  • Configure rankmirror and optimize the download mirrors and pacman
  • Update the system
  • Create and configure a new user (and sudo)
  • Install an AUR helper [yaourt, packer]
  • Install the base system
  • Install Xorg
  • Install video drivers
  • Install CUPS
  • Install additional wireless or bluetooth drivers / firmware
  • Secures access to GIT through a firewall
  • Install and configure a LAMP server
  • Install a desktop environment [GNOME, KDE, XFCE, LXDE, OpenBox, Cinnamon]
  • Install development tools [Vim, Emacs, Eclipse ...]
  • Install Office Suite [LibreOffice, GNOME-Office, Latex ...]
  • Install system tools [Wine, Virtualbox, Grsync, Htop]
  • Install graphics applications [Inkscape, Gimp, Blender, MComix]
  • Install Internet applications [Firefox, Google-Chrome, Jdownloader ...]
  • Install multimedia applications [Rhythmbox, Clementine, Codecs ...]
  • Install games [HoN, World of Padman, Wesnoth ...]
  • Install fonts [Liberation, MS-Fonts, Google-webfonts…]
  • All these options are optional, everything is configured correctly and with the necessary daemons configured in /etc/rc.conf

How is it installed?

Once Arch is installed, GIT must be installed:

pacman -Sy git

Then, you have to download the script:

git clone git: //github.com/helmuthdu/aui

And run it:

cd aui && ./aui

The last thing left is to follow the instructions and have a good coffee. That easy.

Many of the things to install and configure have a brief explanation and a url to the official ArchLinux wiki with more information about it (which is appreciated).

More information in the creator's git repository: https://github.com/helmuthdu/aui

    Nice work, happy to have come across this blog on blogs list.
    This is the type of content that should be provided around the web.
    You should really look at putting up more stuff like this on web 2.
    0 list. It's a shame that search engines aren't giving blogger.
    com to higher position. If you're interested, please come and read my web site. Kudos

    I like this script not because it makes my job easier, but because I have tried so many times to get Arch to work and never succeed. The script is giving me a more general view of how it works while he is doing them and I understand the process better after having done it step by step and not achieving it, it gives me an overview of the mistakes made before.
    Then I'll try again by hand.
    Thanks for the input!

    I wish that was when I started in arch; -;
    now for what? xd, if I wouldn't format my pc anyway: 3

    I like coffee 😀 but I prefer the arch wiki you learn a lot, every day my pc with chakra project I optimize something nn
    Thank you very much for the tips, spreading the word

    I'm glad it serves! A hug! Paul.

    Chakra has an excellent Qt installer that reads modern partitions - more than 4 per disk -

    The current derivatives of Arch plus kiss - Archbang or Kahel - could copy, at least this characteristic.

    Arch itself would be more KISS - simple - if it asked when installing the chosen DM - KDE, Gnome, XFCE, and have a preselection of standard programs, with an advanced option to deselect some and select others, as well as if there is a problem compatibility allow to solve them or solve them automatically.

    But tell me what you boast about and I'll tell you what you lack, the only really simple ARCH, for me is Chakra, which is not quite ARCH, it is a fork, like Ubuntu from Debian, too bad it's "only KDE" to me I like to have several DMs at the same time.

    A fork of Chakra multi DM would be a joy.

    Although this post installation script in the installation would be very good to increase the simplicity - KISS - of Arch installations.

    From my point of view this can help in certain cases, where you want to install it on several computers, but as a way of learning on my personal computer, I prefer to do it in the traditional way as one commenter here says. Well, this is how you are going to further enrich your knowledge about how an operating system of this type works.

    regards

    and ... we will try again. I tried more than 3 times in VBox, I could not update the system, then I saw it was necessary to give "no" to the update of pacman before the system. Likewise, after installing the base system, I could never update pacman and therefore, I could not install anything ... we will test the script to see what happens ...

    … Run that script and miss all the fun of doing it on foot ?? Naaaaah !!!! xD

  10.   doritos said

    I try it since it is my coconut and I can not with it and for more guides that I find I could not have if now yes

    It would be cool if you put examples, such as archlinux + xfce, with photos and if possible if you find some faults and that.

    Thank you! There was a typing error.
    It was alredy corrected.
    Cheers! Paul.

    As I am not very funny, I almost prefer the traditional way.

    I don't know, as if it gave me more control when doing things

    Good date.

    One detail: 'standart' does not exist. It is "standard" in Spanish. And "standard" in English.

  15.   JP said

    Thank you!!! I'm going to try it since I felt an idiot to get stuck after having installed the base system and not knowing what to do next !!!

    What better a simple installation and its great wiki.
    Let's all ask for a new iso for Arch.

    And will it help me to configure HDI or VGA output? I have not been able to make the connection with the tv work for me… .. I have already searched but there is still much that I do not understand and I like how I left the file ………

  18.   Helena_ryuu said

    ._. that takes away the most entertaining step, it is not funny to automate the construction of a system with the KISS xD principle

  19.   Jesus said

    I can not disagree more. Flexibility should be the key. Automation would only help the KISS principle as long as such automation does not detract from configuration flexibility. Just to say that by definition computing is the science of automation, it would be a mistake not to. They should not be exclusive issues, one should be able to install the system automatically or in batches even on different machines at a stroke. Or install it manually, traditional, specify.

    It is only in English ... I prefer Spanish to understand what it does and asks without making a mistake

    How wonderful that something like that exists, I didn't think it existed.
