python-archinstall Documentation ================================ | **python-archinstall** *(or, archinstall for short)* is a helper library to install Arch Linux and manage services, packages and other things. | It comes packaged with different pre-configured installers, such as the `Guided installation`_ installer. | | A demo can be viewed here: `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xt7X_Iqg6E `_ which uses the default guided installer. .. warning:: This installer currently requires that your machine has EFI-mode enabled. Some of the features of Archinstall are: * **No external dependencies or installation requirements.** Runs without any external requirements or installation processes. * **Single threaded and context friendly.** The library always executed calls in sequential order to ensure installation-steps don't overlap or executes in the wrong order. It also supports *(and uses)* context wrappers to ensure things such as `sync` are called so data and configurations aren't lost. * **Supports standalone executable** The library can be compiled into a single executable and run on any system with or without Python. This is ideal for live mediums that don't want to ship Python as a big dependency. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 :caption: Running the installer installing/guided .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 :caption: Getting help help/discord help/issues .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 :caption: Installing the library installing/python installing/binary .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 :caption: Using the library examples/python examples/binary .. examples/scripting .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 :caption: Programming Guide .. programming_guide/requirements programming_guide/basic_concept .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 :caption: API Reference archinstall/Installer archinstall/Profile archinstall/Application .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 :caption: API Helper functions archinstall/general
