This installation covers steps you can use to install Arch Linux on your system. Pacman, the default package manager for Arch Linux is used to install, remove and update packages. Ever since its first release, Arch gained massive popularity and is currently among the best 10 Linux distributions. The Arch project was started in March 2002 by Judd Vinet after inspiration from CRUX. This adopted principle ensures that there are minimal and distribution-specific changes which in turn reduces breakage with updates. With this model, there is no “major release” of completely new versions of the system, and hence regular updates are required to get the latest versions. This is achieved by using the rolling release model where each release has its own attached new packages. Arch Linux is an x86-64 Linux distribution that focuses on the KISS(Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle.
