A guided and automated installer for Arch Linux that can run interactively or from declarative JSON configuration files and templates. It also doubles as a Python library for programmatically installing Arch Linux and managing packages, services, and other aspects of the installed system.
Use cases
- install arch linux with a guided menu-driven installer
- automate arch linux installation from a json config file
- script arch linux system provisioning from a live iso
- use a python library to install packages and manage services on arch
- set up disk partitioning and bootloader automatically during install
- reproducibly deploy arch linux across multiple machines
When to choose
- you want to install Arch Linux without manually following the wiki step by step
- you need repeatable, declarative Arch installations via config files or URLs
- you want to automate system setup programmatically from Python on a live medium
When to avoid
- you are installing a different distribution than Arch Linux
- you need a graphical installer with a GUI
- you want full manual control over every installation step (use the traditional manual install instead)
