How to install Antergos 2016 Tutorial

As a new Antergos user, I want to share my experience when installing Antergos 2016 on my computer. In order to install Antergos, you must be connected to the internet. Cnchi software will update itself to the most recent version from the Official repository. Before we go through, you may want to check my Antergos 2016 Screenshots.

Steps to install Antergos 2016

Step 1. Open Antergos Installer

Go to App menu and click Install Antergos

It will open the Antergos installer

Click Install to continue to the next installation step.

Step 2. Choose your Language

Select the available language from the list.

Step 2. System Check Summary

At this point, it is better to fullfill all the Antergos requirements such as minimum hardware, internet connection etc.

Step 3. Select your location

You can see more countries by clicking Show All Location checkbox.

Step 4. Select Timezone

Step 5. Select the keyboard layout

If you don't know which one, I suggest to select English (US) from the list.

Step 6. Select your Desktop

This is the interesting part. Antergos 2016 offers easy way to choose any available Desktop Environment during installation. You can choose from 6 different DE. Gnome, KDE, MATE, Cinnamon, Openbox and Xfce. Again, it needs internet connection to download some packages required by the DE to be correctly installed on Antergos.

Step 7. Additional Features selection

At this step you may add some other features or software available. I recommend to enable AUR and Flash Player from the list.

Step 8. Installation Type

This is the crucial step. Select the installation type from the list. The first option will use your hard disk for Antergos installation. The second one is the manual method.

Step 9. Select Hard Disk

You will need to specify which disk to be used. On this example, I will install Antergos to a flash disk, not hard drive. Select the drive for installation and also specify the boot loader installation.

Step 10. Installation Summary

You will see the installation summary displayed on screen.

Step 11. Create User account

You will need to create a new user account for Antergos system

The installation will start. Wait until it completed and then reboot your computer to the new Antergos Desktop. Please note that this process will take some times because it will download many files from the internet.
