fdisk -l for get list of current partition

fdisk /dev/sdx or fdisk /dev/vdx or fdisk /dev/nvmexnx to edit the drive. This command will be specified by type of storage. Press n on fdisk shell to create new partition Press w on fdisk shell to write the partition Google about fdisk to get more information

mkfs.ext4 /dev/<device> to make the partition to ext4 format

mkswap /dev/<device> to make the partition to swap

6. Run swapon /dev/<device> to enable swap
7. Run mount /dev/<device> /mnt to mount the ext4 device which want to install arch-linux
8. Run pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware vim dhcpcd to install archlinux

vim is for text-editor, dhcpcd for ethernet

if your computer has wifi, replace dhcpcd to iwd to enable WLAN

8. Run genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
9. Run arch-chroot /mnt to move to your linux
