I'm changing the scope of the project to only do minimal installs and no longer offer the options for the install script. As the official arch install script has become better this one is no longer needed. However, I still want a script that installs my two flavors of arch.
- DWM + Xorg
- Hyprland + Wayland
This is currently a work in progress and check the branchs for the old versions.
New single command quicklaunch
bash <(curl -L christitus.com/archtitus)
Old Script with all the customizations is located in the (all-in-one-2022 branch) here: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/ArchTitus/tree/all-in-one-2022-script
This README contains the steps I do to install and configure a fully-functional Arch Linux installation containing a desktop environment, all the support packages (network, bluetooth, audio, printers, etc.), along with all my preferred applications and utilities. The shell scripts in this repo allow the entire process to be automated.)
Download ArchISO from https://archlinux.org/download/ and put on a USB drive with Etcher, Ventoy, or Rufus
If you don't want to build using this script I did create an image @ https://cttstore.com/arch-titus
From initial Prompt type the following commands:
pacman -Sy git
git clone https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/ArchTitus
cd ArchTitus
./archtitus.sh
This is completely automated arch install. It includes prompts to select your desired desktop environment, window manager, AUR helper, and whether to do a full or minimal install. The KDE desktop environment on arch includes all the packages I use on a daily basis, as well as some customizations.

The main script will generate .log files for every script that is run as part of the installation process. These log files contain the terminal output so you can review any warnings or errors that occurred during installation and aid in troubleshooting.
You can check if the WiFi is blocked by running rfkill list.
If it says Soft blocked: yes, then run rfkill unblock wifi
After unblocking the WiFi, you can connect to it. Go through these 5 steps:
#1: Run iwctl
#2: Run device list, and find your device name.
#3: Run station [device name] scan
#4: Run station [device name] get-networks
#5: Find your network, and run station [device name] connect [network name], enter your password and run exit. You can test if you have internet connection by running ping google.com, and then Press Ctrl and C to stop the ping test.
An issue is easier to resolve if it contains a few important pieces of information.
- Chosen configuration from /configs/setup.conf (DONT INCLUDE PASSWORDS)
- Errors seen in .log files
- What commit/branch you used
- Where you were installing (VMWare, Virtualbox, Virt-Manager, Baremetal, etc)
- If a VM, what was the configuration used.
- Original packages script was a post install cleanup script called ArchMatic located here: https://github.com/rickellis/ArchMatic
