- Installation guide. Installing Arch Linux from the live system. Is identical to the key fingerprint of the Arch Linux developer who signed the ISO.
- As we know By default the Arch Linux ISO doesn’t comes with graphical user interface and we need to install it manually. To install graphical user interface on it, we need to install few prerequisites before proceeding desktop installation, like Xorg, which provides the open source X Window System used to provide a graphical environment.
In those days it was possible to install Arch Linux thanks to a known 'script' with the unnamed name of the Arch Installation Framework (Arch's installation framework). Straight away. Let's get down to work.

Compiz packages have been moved to the AUR (Arch User Repository). This repository is unsupported so is not accessible by pacman.
You can download the packages you require and use
jasonwryanjasonwryanmakepkg
to install them. See the Arch Wiki AUR page for the details on using this repository.52.9k1414 gold badges140140 silver badges194194 bronze badges
You can also use Yaourt for installing the package from AUR. For xfce desktop use:
deaddroiddeaddroid
UPDATE: @MadTux I wrote you a script that installs the Compiz packages. Successfully tested on a fresh install!
I also forgot to mention that XFCEcomes with its own compositor (not as many features as Compiz though)
Install an AUR helper such as
packer
I have

successfully working on a couple up-to-date ArchLinux machines. You need these packages:As you can see I'm using the 'old' 0.8.X branch (0.9 breaks everything).Many of the compiz packages in AUR will not build.
Therefore you may need to use the Arch Rollback Machine (ARM) for the ones that fail to compile.
NOTE: To use the A.R.M. you do not use
[custom]
it must be the original name of the repo so pacman
can find the .db
database file. Remember to revert the config file back to normal afterwards.How To Install Xfce Themes Arch Linux Iso Download
