If you are indeed a beginner, please also check out Arch Linux’s Beginner’s Guide , a great resource which I wish I’d been aware of when I first started out. However, since there are a lot of these out there at this point, I’ve tried to make it a bit more than a utilitarian installation template, but to put together a more substantive resource for relative beginners, reflecting on why I run Arch and providing a bit more context as to what’s actually going on during the installation process. Check out the Arch wiki, forums, IRC channel, and Google+ community, as these are your best resources for questions.Īs the title suggests, this is a guide to installing Arch Linux in VirtualBox. Also, note that while I try to be helpful, I can’t necessarily provide tech support here for everyone following these instructions. And if you’re coming to this post for the first time, you should also most definitely check the comment thread, where users have added helpful comments and advice about changes that have occurred with Arch since the post was written. Your best experience with this guide will be to use it alongside the Arch Wiki and other resources, so you can take what’s helpful and leave what’s not. It’s also why I put dates and version numbers high up in this post-so people could easily see how dated the instructions were. That’s why we have the Arch Wiki, edited by the masses and not one guy. I’ve added a few updates throughout the text and will probably continue to do so once or twice a year until it becomes unwieldy. With that said, however, given that Arch is a rolling release that changes all the time, keeping this entire post up to date for the indefinite future would be a constant, and quite possibly losing, battle. There’ve been a number of calls to update this post to reflect recent changes in Arch. Many thanks to them for their advice and suggestions.Īuthor’s Note (): I’m thankful for all the nice things users have said about this guide and all the advice they’ve given in the comments-you folks are great.
