It always starts with a what-if.
Is it possible to adapt archinstall to automate the installation of ArcoLinux with the ArcoLinux configurations and all its packages, using an Arch Linux ISO and configuring it through archinstall?
No calamares used! We boot up just like the Arch Linux ISO.
Arcoinstall is a project, based on archinstall, designed to automate the installation of ArcoLinux with specific configurations like e.g. CHADWM. This project simplifies the installation process by providing pre-configured scripts and modules tailored for advanced users who prefer a command-line-driven approach.

- Customizability: Adapt the installation process to include specific desktop environments or tiling window managers, such as CHADWM, by modifying package lists and scripts.
- Reproducibility: Ensure consistent system setups across multiple installations or devices.
- CLI-First Approach: Ideal for users who prefer command-line tools over graphical installers like Calamares.
- Pre-configured scripts for installing ArcoLinux with ArcoLinux configs and apps.
- Easy-to-edit profiles for customizing installations.
- No graphical interface required – fully terminal-based.
You can modify the included scripts and profiles to create a personalized installer for your preferred desktop environment or window manager. For example:
- Change the package list to include or exclude specific software.
- Add post-install scripts to configure your system further.

After many years of building, sharing, and learning together, the ArcoLinux project is winding down.
Although no new updates or packages will be released, we are proud of the knowledge, tools, and community that have grown around ArcoLinux.
- 🌐 Websites will remain accessible for several years
- 🎥 YouTube videos will stay online and continue to serve as tutorials
- 📦 GitHub repositories like this one will remain available as long as GitHub's free hosting allows
ArcoLinux was always built on Arch Linux, which is a rolling release.
This means your system can still be installed and updated using standard Arch tools and knowledge.
🔗 A Farewell to the ArcoLinux University
