1. Download the latest Arch Linux ISO
2. Flash your Arch Linux ISO to a bootable USB flash drive. If you are on windows, you can use this tool
3. Boot into the live installation media and when Arch Linux boots up, synchronise mirrors (sudo pacman -Sy) then run archinstall
4. While using the archinstall script, select the i3 window manager in the Profile(desktop section.
5. Once Arch Linux has been setup, login to a user account and open a terminal ($mod+enter). In the terminal, run sudo pacman -S git and from the home directory, run git clone https://github.com/AnAncientForce/sysZ.git
6. Once cloned, cd into the ~/sysZ/shell folder
7. Run sh pull.sh --first-setup, you will be asked a few questions about what you would like to be installed. The [required] options are necessary otherwise things may not function as expected.
