Ahead of the installation an Arch boot-stick has to be created. The iso-file can
be found on the [official website](https://www.archlinux.org/download/).
The iso can be written on an USB-stick using `dd`.
After that the USB can be plugged in the system on which Arch should be installed.
Boot the target system and select `Boot Arch Linux (x86_64)`.
If you need to set the keyboard layout to anything other than english you can temporarily do so by using the `loadkeys` command.
This has to be followed by your country id (for example a german keyboard layout would be `de`,`de-latin1` or `de-latin1-nodeadkeys`.

## 2. Formatting of the target drive
Using `lsblk` you can list all the drives and partitions.
Select a drive to install Arch on.
In this step you can see if old partitions need to be deleted.
For reasons of simplicity the following guide will assume the selected drive to be `/dev/sda`.

## 4. Setup LVM
- `cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 lvm` - Opening encrypted partition and mapping it to `/dev/mapper/lvm`
- `cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 lvm` - Opening encrypted partition and mapping
it to `/dev/mapper/lvm`

## 5. Create filesystems and mounting them temporarily
We have to find out which partition is our boot-partition.
Using `blkid | grep /dev/sda` once again, we can identify it by looking for the `EFI system partition` label.

## 8. Set Region and Language
- `echo LANG=en\_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf` - Assign system Language to be english (you can use other languages, look into the `/etc/locale.gen` for a list of all available languages)
- `vim /etc/locale.gen` - Assigning system language by uncomment the lines depending on your needs.
In this example:
```
- `echo LANG=en\_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf` - Assign system Language to be
