-# Arch Installer
-[](https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/actions/workflows/flake8.yaml)
-
-Just another guided/automated [Arch Linux](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux) installer with a twist.
-The installer also doubles as a python library to install Arch Linux and manage services, packages, and other things inside the installed system *(Usually from a live medium)*.

-## Running the [guided](https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/blob/master/archinstall/scripts/guided.py) installer
-
-Assuming you are on an Arch Linux live-ISO or installed via `pip`:
-```shell
-archinstall
-```
-
-## Running the [guided](https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/blob/master/archinstall/scripts/guided.py) installer using `git`
-
-```shell
- # cd archinstall-git
- # python -m archinstall
-```
-
-#### Advanced
-Some additional options that most users do not need are hidden behind the `--advanced` flag.
-
-## Running from a declarative configuration file or URL
-
-`archinstall` can be run with a JSON configuration file. There are 2 different configuration files to consider,
-the `user_configuration.json` contains all general installation configuration, whereas the `user_credentials.json`
-contains the sensitive user configuration such as user password, root password, and encryption password.
-
-An example of the user configuration file can be found here
-[configuration file](https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/blob/master/examples/config-sample.json)
-and an example of the credentials configuration here
-[credentials file](https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/blob/master/examples/creds-sample.json).
-
-**HINT:** The configuration files can be auto-generated by starting `archinstall`, configuring all desired menu
-points and then going to `Save configuration`.
-
-To load the configuration file into `archinstall` run the following command
-```shell
-archinstall --config
