Python library
Archinstall ships on PyPi as archinstall. But the library can be installed manually as well.
Warning
These steps are not required if you want to use archinstall on the official Arch Linux ISO.
Installing with pacman
Archinstall is on the official repositories. And it will also install archinstall as a python library.
To install both the library and the archinstall script:
pacman -S archinstall
Alternatively, you can install only the library and not the helper executable using the python-archinstall
package.
Installing from PyPI
The basic concept of PyPI applies using pip.
pip install archinstall
Install using source code
You can also install using the source code.
For sake of simplicity we will use
git clone
in this example.git clone https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall
You can either move the folder into your project and simply do
import archinstall
Or you can PyPa’s build and installer to install it into pythons module path.
$ cd archinstall
$ python -m build .
$ python -m installer dist/*.whl
