There are currently several ways to install the PENGUIN Desktop Environment.

New Install (manual) #

Installing PENGUIN during a manual Arch Linux installation is the most straight-forward, and therefore most recommended, method. We will not cover the entire Arch Linux install; can read more about that here.

  1. Follow Arch install guide up to Select the mirrors

  2. After selecting mirrors, add the PENGUIN mirrorlist, by creating /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-penguin

Server = https://repo.penguin.fyi/packages/$repo/$arch
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
  1. Add mirrorlist to /etc/pacman.conf
[penguin]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-penguin
  1. Install the complete PENGUIN Desktop Environment
pacstrap /mnt penguin-base penguin-desktop
  1. Continue Arch installation as usual

New Install (archinstall) #

Installing PENGUIN during Arch installation via archinstall is also possible. This method is two part: archinstall and arch-chroot

  1. archinstall
    In this part of the installation, you may setup your system as needed, but the following points are required.

    • Do not create User account; this will be done later
    • For Profile; choose minimal
    • For Audio; choose pipewire
    • For Network configuration; choose NetworkManager

    When the installation is complete, select Yes to enter chroot

  2. arch-chroot
    After completing steps 1 and 2 below, you may remain in the chroot for any additional setup to your new system.

    1. Run setup script to add mirrorlist and install
    curl https://repo.penguin.fyi/setup_mini.sh | sh
    1. Add user account
    useradd -m username
passwd username
    1. Exit chroot with Ctrl+D and reboot to new system
