#Install a package without network
8 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
You'll need to arch-chroot in, run iwctl or use an ethernet cable, then install. But you can't install packages without internet. Installing packages has to fetch the packages from somewhere. That somewhere is largely the internet.
or you could download the packages with --download and give them to your system over a usb stick, that is also an option
You can install the tar files of the packages on a stick, then sudo pacman -S the files
Make sure you have the correct dependencies too
You can also manually install arch, and when packstrapping the kernel and the other packages, install network manager too
My best advice would be to manually install arch, if you can't handle the tutorial, the game won't make much sense to you
Download it from here: https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/wpa_supplicant/
Copy to usb, use pacman -U <file path>
