TIP: To make package groups, simply make a folder in /arch/pkgs and move all packages you want to put in said group in that folder, after that when you select the folder it'll fetch everything in it.

Run `iso-make`, you will be prompted with a screen where you can choose what packages (from the registered ones) to download for the installation, once again you need the packages listed in step 1 for even the most basic installs, so add them for a healthy install. After you're done choosing the packages and downloading them, choose the "done" option at the very bottom and let the iso generate.

The iso will be copied from the container to the home folder after you run `exit`, pick it up from there and use it, you can flash it to a usb, burn it to a disk or mount it to a virtual machine.

In cfdisk you need at least one partition with the type set as "linux", you can also add one with a "swap" label as long as it is about 1.5 times as big as your ram storage (but this is optional), if you're on uefi create a 500 MB fat32 partition and if you're on mbr/legacy tick the 'bootable' option for the linux partition. Make sure to memorise or write down what partiton (/dev/name) is used for what as you will need to fill that in later.

### Tips for advanced users: ### Tips for advanced users:
You can edit /arch/scripts/ to better suit your installation, koffe.is is what runs in the live env and pi.is is the post-install setup that runs in chroot.

### Upgrading
To update the scripts and components in the arch container, simply enter it and run `curl https://koffe.netlify.app/install-box | bash`. Basically redownload everything fresh off the webapp, same for the host, just replace `install-box` with `install-host` and add a sudo before bash if necessary.
### Removal
To remove koffe from your system, simply delete `/usr/bin/koffe-shell` and everything in `/usr/share/koffe/`
## End of documentation
As an ending thought, I really hope this tool will help speed up your arch installs or make it more aproachable if you're just starting out. Also, make sure to re-build your isos regularly to get the latest software, though running `pacman -Syu` after installation should do the same, it's less clunky this way.
