In my case, the command is: sudo dd bs=4M if=Downloads/archlinux-2019.04.01-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync

Now to create the bootable USB drive, use the following command: sudo dd bs=4M if= of=/dev/sdX status=progress oflag=sync If you enter the wrong name, you may end up deleting your system. WARNING: Make sure that you have the right mount point of the USB drive.

But anyway, make sure and remember the name of the device that matches the description of your USB drive. If you only have a hard drive/SSD and the USB drive, it will probably be /dev/sdb. The size of the storage device will be written next to the mount point. The mount point of the device will be written as /dev/sdX. It will show a description of all the storage devices connected to your system. To check the mount point of your USB drive, use the following command: sudo fdisk -l fdisk -l on Linux Mint You will need to know the mount point of your USB drive to use this command, and the ISO file downloaded. The bootable USB drive can be created in two ways: 1. The result will be a LiveUSB drive that can be used for installing Arch Linux, system maintenance or recovery purposes, and will discard all changes once the computer shuts down due to the nature of SquashFS. If you can’t see it on another device, don’t worry, Arch will have an installation guide when booting from the USB drive.

Read it as well as refer to it on another device when setting up your Arch system. Download Arch Linux ISOĪrch also provides website installation guide. As you will be able to see, it will probably have the latest launched Kernel version, and release date will too be quite recent.
