Step-by-step guide to installing LevitateOS from the live environment.

Overview

Installing LevitateOS follows the same process as Arch Linux. You'll boot from a live environment, prepare your disk, extract the system with recstrap, and configure before rebooting. No network connection is required.

What You'll Do

  • Boot - Boot the live ISO
  • Partition - Create EFI and root partitions on your disk
  • Extract - Use recstrap to extract the system (like pacstrap)
  • Configure - Set timezone, locale, hostname, users
  • Bootloader - Copy pre-built UKI, install systemd-boot
  • Reboot - Boot into your new LevitateOS installation

Installation Steps

  • Disk Preparation - Boot, identify disk, partition, format, mount (steps 1-5)
  • Base System - Extract with recstrap, generate fstab, enter chroot (steps 6-9)
  • Configuration - Timezone, locale, hostname, passwords, user account (steps 10-14)
  • Bootloader & Finish - Copy UKI, install bootloader, enable services, reboot (steps 15-18)
