- UEFI
- single Drive
- Encrypted
- BootLoader: Grub
- Nvidia Graphics
- Wireless Installation
- WM: BSPWM
- Shell: ZSH
- Download ArchLinux
Create USB Stick via Linux:
dd if=i/path/to/archlinux-*.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=16M && sync
If you have nvidia graphics only edit boot mode
- nomodeset
If necessary change Keyboard layout
loadkeys de-latin1
Graphical wifi setup
wifi-menu -o
netctl start "profile
If ping works your ready
ping google.com
Sync time with network
timedatectl set-ntp true
Check if time is right (this should show UTC time)
timedatectl status
I will do one EFI, one Boot and one Main (will be encrypted later)

1 = EFI, 2 = Boot
mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdX1
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdX2
3 = Main partition
cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain64 -h sha512 -s 512 --use-random luksFormat /dev/sdX3
Type upercase YES
YES
Choose Password
YourMapperName can be everything but shouldnt be to short
remember your wrapper name, you will need it later
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdX3 YourMapperName
pvcreate /dev/mapper/YourMapperName
vgcreate Arch /dev/mapper/YourMapperName
setup little swap
lvcreate -L +512M Arch -n swap
lvcreate -l +100%FREE Arch -n root
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/Arch-root
mkswap /dev/mapper/Arch-swap
mount /dev/mapper/Arch-root /mnt
swapon /dev/mapper/Arch-swap
mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sdX2 /mnt/boot
mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/boot/efi
you can add installations like vim but its not recommended
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel grub-efi-x86_64 efibootmgr dialog wpa_supplicant
genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
Check fstab carefully and Change "relatime" to "noatime" on boot and root partition
nano /mnt/etc/fstab
arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
Uncomment your preffered system langugae like en_US
nano /etc/locale.gen
locale.conf should one have one line with your language
nano /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Load your language
locale-gen

tzselect
sync hardware clock to utc time
hwclock --systohc --utc

nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cryptdevice=/dev/sdX3:yourMapperName resume=/dev/mapper/Arch-swap"
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
exit
Umount all Partitions
umount -R /mnt
swapoff -a
reboot
Remove USB Stick with your ISO
If everything works fine, you need to unlock your encrpted Partition and can lock in as User now
Uncomment following lines
sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf
'####Misc options

sync and install yaourt
sudo pacman -Sy
sudo pacman -S yaourt
sudo pacman -S xf86-video-vesa
sudo pacman -S mesa
sudo pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xterm
sudo pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-settings lib32-nvidia-libgl
If you use nvidia and Intel graphics Install bumblebee
sudo pacman -S bumblebee
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo dirmngr
if you can read OK in last line press ctrl+c
sudo pacman-key -r 962DDE58
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 962DDE58
sudo pacman -S zsh
touch ~/.zshrc
yaourt prezto-git
chsh -s /bin/zsh
sudo pacman -S bspwm sxhkd
Start on boot
nano ~/.xinitrc
sxhkd &
exec bspwm
you should install a terminal like termite
sudo pacman -S termite
create some config setup
mkdir ~/.config
mkdir ~/.config/bspwm
mkdir ~/.config/sxhkd
here will be your keybinds, you dont need anything now
you can copy one later, github is full with it
nano ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc
add "Termite" at end of bspwmrc to autostart a Terminal on login
nano ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc
sudo pacman -S lightdm-gtk-greeter
systemctl enable lightdm.service
reboot
now lightdm should start and you should be able to login and you should see a terminal
