# Arch Linux
Arch is a very minimal [Linux](Linux.md) Distribution. It features many [packages](https://archlinux.org/packages/) installable with [Pacman](../applications/package%20managers/Pacman.md) and a useful [wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/). Additional software support is based on the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/)

Installation of Arch Linux is typically done manually following the Wiki. Additionally there are install scripts like this one:
```shell
curl -L matmoul.github.io/archfi | bash
```
