Ahead of October's refresh of the Arch Linux install media, Archinstall 4.5 has arrived — a new release of the handy text-based system installer.

The Arch Linux project has released Archinstall 4.5, the latest update to its text-based installer that markedly simplifies deploying a distribution long known for its hands-on setup.

The release is timed to the October refresh of the Arch Linux installation media (ISO): the updated installer will ship on the fresh images used by newcomers and seasoned administrators alike for clean installs.

Among the announced changes are improvements to AArch64 support — that is, 64-bit ARM processors — along with new options for installing a real-time (RT) kernel. The latter will appeal to anyone running Linux for latency-sensitive workloads, from audio processing to industrial and embedded use.

Archinstall remains the official tool for stepping through an Arch Linux installation in an interactive text mode, without giving up the flexibility that draws people to the distribution in the first place.
