Ark GNU/Linux

A simple and easy to use GNU/Linux distribution with KDE Plasma desktop environment based on Arch Linux.

Build Project from Source

Requirements

• Arch Linux (or any Arch-based Linux distribution)

NOTE: For a friendly Arch Linux installation guide, visit Arkapravo-Ghosh/arch-linux-install-guide.

• Git

NOTE: For Arch Linux, Git can be installed by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S git

Clone Repository

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Arkapravo-Ghosh/Ark-Linux

Install Dependencies

sudo pacman -S archiso

Build ISO

cd Ark-Linux

sudo mkarchiso -v -w arklinuxcache -o arklinuxbuild arklinux

WARNING: If ./build.sh is interrupted, run findmnt(8) to make sure there are no mount binds before deleting it - otherwise, you may lose data (e.g. an external device mounted at /run/media/user/label gets bound within arklinuxcache/x86_64/airootfs/run/media/user/label during the build process).

The ISO will be located inside arklinuxbuild directory.

NOTE: To clean up the build and cache directory, run the following command:

sudo rm -rf arklinuxbuild
sudo rm -rf arklinuxcache

Test ISO on QEMU

run_archiso -u -i arklinuxbuild/Ark\ Linux-*-x86_64.iso

NOTE: Requires QEMU.
