# Moonarch
Reproducible Arch Linux setup with Niri (Wayland compositor), greetd/moongreet, Catppuccin Mocha theming and full automation.
## Quick Start
### Option A: Download config in the live system
1. Flash the [Arch ISO](https://archlinux.org/download/) to USB and boot from it
2. In the live system:
```bash
curl -O https://gitea.moonarch.de/nevaforget/moonarch/raw/branch/main/config/user_configuration.json
archinstall --config user_configuration.json
```
3. Choose disk + kernel interactively, the rest comes from the config
### Option B: Place config on USB stick (Ventoy)
1. Install [Ventoy](https://www.ventoy.net/) on USB
2. Copy the Arch ISO and `user_configuration.json` to the Ventoy partition
3. Boot from it, then:
```bash
archinstall --config /run/media/ventoy/user_configuration.json
```
### After archinstall
1. Reboot — the repo is already in `/opt/moonarch` (via custom-commands)
2. Log in, then:
```bash
/opt/moonarch/scripts/post-install.sh
```
3. Reboot again — done
