pacstrap

Arch Linux install script to install packages to the specified new root directory. More information: https://man.archlinux.org/man/pacstrap.8.

• Install the base package, Linux kernel and firmware for common hardware:
   
  pacstrap {{path/to/new/root}} {{base}} {{linux}} {{linux-firmware}}
   
• Install the base package, Linux LTS kernel and base-devel build tools:
   
  pacstrap {{path/to/new/root}} {{base}} {{base-devel}} {{linux-lts}}
   
• Install packages without copy the host's mirrorlist to the target:
   
  pacstrap -M {{path/to/new/root}} {{packages}}
   
• Use an alternate configuration file for Pacman:
   
  pacstrap -C {{path/to/pacman.conf}} {{path/to/new/root}} {{packages}}
   
• Install packages using the package cache on the host instead of on the target:
   
  pacstrap -c {{path/to/new/root}} {{packages}}
   
• Install packages without copy the host's pacman keyring to the target:
   
  pacstrap -G {{path/to/new/root}} {{packages}}
   
• Install packages in interactive mode (prompts for confirmation):
   
  pacstrap -i {{path/to/new/root}} {{packages}}
   
• Install packages using package files:
   
  pacstrap -U {{path/to/new/root}} {{path/to/package1}} {{path/to/package2}}
