+ This post emphises my way of installing Arch Linux. If you think, I
+ could improve upon something on this post, you can start shouting at
+ me via my email address which you can find in this website.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The Arch Linux is my favorite flavor of Linux to use as my daily
+ driver. It's simplicity combined with a vast and detailed documentation
+ is splendid. The installation of Arch Linux on the official page is
+ minimal and intentionally kept this way to install only the packages
+ we require.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ You can find the ISO image download on the
+ <a href="https://archlinux.org/download/">Arch Linux website</a>. I'll
+ keep the creating of a bootable disk to the exercise for the readers.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ These are the steps, I'm going to focus on writing here.

+ Enter the command <span class="pre">ip link</span> on your terminal.
+ You will see the list of Ethernet or Wireless network interfaces.
+ Make sure, the network interface appears on the list.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We are going to use and config <span class="pre">wpa_supplicant</span>.
+ First step is to open this file:
+ <pre>
+ vim /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
+ </pre>
+ and enter the network credentials (in my case, it is my mobile personal
+ hotspot):
+ <pre>
+ network={<br/>
+ ssid="<your-hotspot-name>"<br/>
+ psk="<your-hostspot-password>"<br/>
+ }
+ </pre>
+ Save and close the editor. Now type in the below command with your
+ network interface name and enter:
+ <pre>
+ wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
+ </pre>
