Passo 2 Verify the Signature (Optional)

While it isn't a required step, it is recommended to verify the image before trying to use the ISO file.
Use GnuPG and import the Arch Linux Developer Key with the following command.
gpg --keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve --verify archlinux-version-x86_64.iso.sig
Once completed, navigate to the directory where your ISO file and the signature file are located. You can then verify the signature with the following command.
gpg --keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve --verify archlinux-version-x86_64.iso.sig

Passo 5 Setting up Arch Linux

Once the live system has loaded, you will be booted into Arch's terminal.
Arch Linux does not include a pre-installed graphical user interface (GUI) by default. Therefore, users are required to install and configure their preferred desktop environment or window manager manually after the base system is installed.
From the Terminal you can partition your disk, format the partitions, and mount the partitions according to your system's requirements.

Passo 6 Installing the Base System

Passo 7 Configure the System

Configure the system by setting the hostname, configuring the network, and creating a user account with appropriate privileges. Set up the bootloader and other necessary configurations.

Passo 8 Reboot your System

After completing the installation and configuration process, type 'exit' to leave the chroot environment, unmount all the partitions and reboot the system.
Remove the USB drive when prompted and allow the system to boot into the newly installed Arch Linux environment.
