====== Minimal installation of Manjaro ======

**For Manjaro 20.0.3**

This is how to do a minimal installation of Manjaro. This a simple installation guide which uses the entire disk.

  - Grab the Manjaro Architect ISO from https://manjaro.org/downloads/official/architect/
  - Choose your desired layout and keyboard 
  - Boot Manjaro Architect
  - Login as user //manjaro// password //manjaro//
  - Run ''setup''
  - It now takes a while because Manjaro updates the installer program and databases
  - Select Language
  - Select ''1 Prepare Installation''
  - Select ''3 Partition Disk''
  - Choose the correct disk
  - Select ''Automatic Partitioning BIOS & UEFI''
  - Select ''Mount Partitions''
  - Select the correct ROOT partition
  - Select ''ext4 mkfs.ext4 -q''
  - Confirm the mount options
  - Select ''13 Back''
  - Select ''3 Install CLI System''
  - Select ''Install Base Packages''
  - At ''Install  Base'' dialogue choose linux-lts
  - At ''Additional kernel modules'' dialogue choose none
  - The installation begins now and will take a while
  - At ''Install Network Drivers'' select  ''1 Auto-install free drivers''
  - Select ''2 Install Bootloader''
  - Choose grub
  - Select the correct device for Bootloader installation. Grub will now be installer
  - Select ''3 Configure Base''
  - Select ''1 Generate FSTAB''
  - Select ''fstabgen -U -p''
  - Select ''2 Set Hostname'' - choose a hostname
  - Select ''4 Set Timezone and Clock'', select the correct time zone, then choose UTC
  - Select ''5 Set Root Password'' set a root password
  - Select '' 6 Add new user(s)''
  - Select a name, select default shell (bash will do it), set a password
  - Select ''7 Back''
  - Select ''8 Back''
  - Select ''6 Done''
  - Confirm Close installer
  - reboot

When the machine is rebooted, login as root and execute the following commands

<code bash>
pacman -Rsc lvm2
systemctl enable dhclient@$(grep ^en /proc/net/dev|cut -d: -f1).service
</code>

Reboot again.  Congratulation, you have now the smallest Manjaro system possible. 


===== A minimal X environment =====

In this example we use [[:wm:tiling:bspwm]]. 

As **user** execute the following commands

<code bash>
pacman -S xorg # choose default=all
pacman -S bspwm sxhkd xorg-init xterm rofi

install -Dm644 /usr/share/doc/bspwm/examples/sxhkdrc ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc
install -Dm755 /usr/share/doc/bspwm/examples/bspwmrc ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc

sed -ie s/dmenu_run/'rofi -show run'/g  ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc
sed -ie s/urxvt/xterm/g  ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc

echo "exec bspwm" >~/.xinitrc

</code>

Then reboot, login as **user** and execute ''startx''. Once X has launched press ''Super'' (or Windows key) + ''Return'' to launch ''xterm''
