By default, the system has created a user named ALARM (ArchLinux ARM) with password ALARM. It also
has created a root account simply named root with a password root, to make things easier. In this step,
we’re going to use the root account and not the ALARM account.

Setting up the nearest mirror and installing git

Boot up your ARM device and once booted login as root and enter root as password.

Check for network connectivity.

# ping -c 4 endeavouros.com

If the ping does not work, enter the following:

# systemctl enable dhcpcd.service

Now we’re going to change the mirror settings to the ones near to your location. you can use either vi or
nano to edit the file, in this example you see nano.

# nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Then find the following lines:

## Geo-IP based mirror selection and load balancing

add # to the beginning of the second line to comment it out like this

## Geo-IP based mirror selection and load balancing

Then uncomment (remove the leading #) from the 'Server =' line(s)
for servers near you and close and save the file.

Type the following commands to create the GPG keys, update the installed image, and install git and
libnewt:

# pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm

The install script will be installing Numerous Packages, to make the downloading go faster:
# vi /etc/pacman.conf

Scroll down to
#ParallelDownloads = 5

Uncomment this line by removing the leading # and if desired, change 5 to 8 or however many par
allel downloads you want to run. For my ISP 8 works well.

Save the file, then

Then log back in again with root.

Installing EndeavourOS

We’re almost there, now we’re going to install EndeavourOS on the device by typing the following
commands:

# git clone https://github.com/endeavouros-arm/install-script.git

If endeavour-ARM-install-V2.X.sh is not executable, use chmod to alter it by doing this:

# chmod 774 endeavour-ARM-install-V2.X.sh

When the script is executable, run this command:

# ./endeavour-ARM-install-V2.X.sh

You will be greeted with the last steps and to finalize the install just fill in the info on the screen as shown
below:
