archinstall Documentation ========================= | **archinstall** is library which can be used to install Arch Linux. | The library comes packaged with different pre-configured installers, such as the default :ref:`guided` installer. | | A demo of the :ref:`guided` installer can be seen here: `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xt7X_Iqg6E `_. Some of the features of Archinstall are: * **No external dependencies or installation requirements.** Runs without any external requirements or installation processes. * **Context friendly.** The library always executes calls in sequential order to ensure installation-steps don't overlap or execute in the wrong order. It also supports *(and uses)* context wrappers to ensure cleanup and final tasks such as ``mkinitcpio`` are called when needed. * **Full transparency** Logs and insights can be found at ``/var/log/archinstall`` both in the live ISO and the installed system. * **Accessibility friendly** Archinstall works with ``espeakup`` and other accessibility tools thanks to the use of a TUI. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 :caption: Running the installer installing/guided .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 :caption: Getting help help/discord help/issues .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 :caption: Archinstall as a library installing/python examples/python .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 :caption: Archinstall as a binary installing/binary 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
