Partition the disks:

cgdisk '{disk}'

1. The disk must have the EFI system partition and the root partition.
2. The root partition must have the partition name mindeb.

1. EFI system partition

• First sector: default
• Size in sectors: 300M
• Hex code or GUID: ef00
• Partition name: default

1. Root partition

• First sector: default
• Size in sectors: default
• Hex code or GUID: default
• Partition name: mindeb

mkfs.fat -F 32 '{EFI system partition}'
mkfs.ext4 '{Root partition}'

• {EFI system partition} example: /dev/sda1
• {Root partion} example: /dev/sda2

Mount the root partition to /mnt:

mount '{Root partition}' /mnt

Mount the EFI system partition to /mnt/boot/efi:

mount --mkdir '{EFI system partition}' /mnt/boot/efi

cp -Ta /run/live/rootfs/10-main.squashfs /mnt

• /run/live/rootfs/10-main.squashfs is the entry point for the system files to be copied.

genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

arch-chroot /mnt

Set the timezone:

ln -fs '/usr/share/zoneinfo/{timezone}' /etc/localtime
